I am looking for a scope for my H&R Mod 12 , I need at least a 10x and would like to have target knobs. I dont mind spending between $300- $400 Any sugestions?

I think for that price you might want to take a look at SWFA's Super Sniper line of scopes I have two and love them, for the money they cant be beat IMO. Also here is a link to a great deal on them you get mounts and extra stuff for free, the 10X is $299 and you get $35 worth of free stuff. Click on the one your interested in and it will take you to their site and get you the sale price. I bought the 1x4 kit got a free mount and some other nice stuff saved me $300 the scope is awesome and gets great reviews, my other scope is the 10X I got it several years ago and it has performed flawlessly.

Weaver T series scopes

+1. Weaver makes a good target scope for the money. If you can't afford Leupold, Weaver is the next best bet.

I just bought a Weaver 3-10x40mm "Tactical Grand Slam" from MidwayUSA, for $300. The scope's exclusive to them, and has a mildot reticle and 1/10th mil target turrets that are resettable to zero. The optics are pretty decent but nothing really spectacular; I'd say about like a Nikon Prostaff or thereabouts.

Heading out to zero it on a Ruger 77/22M. Will update later.

OK, just got back from zeroing. I was able to compare it directly to my friends' Nikon Buckmaster, and I would rate the optics in the Weaver as slightly better. The tracking in the turrets was dead-on, and I had the rifle zeroed in 3 rds. Since the scope is intended for CF rifles and thus has a parallax setting of 100yds, at 25yds, the highest magnification that will be in focus is about 5x, so this scope isn't really suited for precision target shooting with a rimfire. For hunting/plinking though, it'll be fine. The only problem, and it's not really much of a problem, is that once zeroed, the marks on the elevation turret didn't line up exactly with the index mark on the body.

Overall, it's a pretty damn good scope for $300, and I think the 10/22's gonna get one, as will the M1A.

Got a way to mount it? That and your ring radius will affect your decision. With that rifle you can't go wrong with a steel Weaver T (as mentioned) or a good used Leupold 6.5x-20x target (lifetime warranty if you need it).

Thanks for the scope sugestions i am going out today and see what i can find at the local gunshops.
Yes, the rifle has a scope mount on it so thats not a problem. I borrowed a friends Nightforce scope last week just to see what the rifle will do and it was shooting 1 MOA@100YDS with plain old .22 LR. I cant wait to get a good scope and some match ammo!

I put a Sightron 12x42 on my H&R 12. I have had it for 3 years and it works great. Took it of my Mossberg LH 42. I think Sightron makes very good scopes. My next scope is going to be their 8-32x56 mil-dot for my tach rifle.
