I'm probably showing my age here, but I always thought a 4x scope was plenty for a .22. Now I see that many target shooters are looking for more magnification than that.

Re: please help
There's no such thing as a centerfire .22LR. Did you mean maybe a .22 Hornet? If indeed you want a .22LR, there are models out there from Savage, Marlin, and CZ that are left-handed, IIRC.

No offense to the centerfire shooters out there (I happen to be one of them), but nothing beats a high-quality .22LR pistol. for sheer accuracy. Get a Smith M41 and don't look back.

Re: 38 ammo
I tried some Remington 95gr 38Spl +Ps and the accuracy was awful. Maybe that's why all the major manufacturers discontinued them. 110's are better, but given my druthers, I like 125's best.
