personally i would use it on a 22 rifle and buy a much better scope for the X7. maybe a Nikon, Swift, Bushnell Elite, Leupold or something along that lines. usually the scopes in a package deal are just basic no frills to get you by type scopes, so that you can pull the gun out of the box, sight it in with a few shots and then go hunting. i have bought all my X7's without scopes. i have a 25-06 XL7 with a 4-12x40 Nikon, a 7mm-08 XS7 with a 6-24x50 Swift Premier and a 308 XS7VH with a Swift Premier 8-32x50. the Swift scopes are new to me as of las year, as i had never heard of them before, they are really good scopes, that are decently priced. check them out.
XL7 package, scope question
Last week I traded for a NIB XL7 270 package deal. It came with a Bushnell 3-9x 40 scope. I've had Bushnells in the past and usually had real good luck with them. Been reading lately tho that a lot of people have trouble with them, and have heard they are chinese made now. 
This one has no markings on it that I can find except has the Bushnell "B" emblem on one of the caps. Are these worth trying, should I put it on a 22, or maybe just throw it in the pond?
Thanks!

Kinda what I was thinkin, but the way some talk about the "package" scopes I didn't know if it was even worth foolin with or not. I'll try it on a 22 tho. This was my 3rd X7, already had a 25-06 and a 7mm-08 too. They are JM stamped and came with no scope, this one is a '09 and I think it has the Rem stamp on it.
