well if it was me i would go with a 4x scope on the 22 , i think you would be happier, I have tried the red dot on a 22 before and the scope to me will make you bare down better , The red dot may cover your hawg to much , and we use them on our muzzleloaders but with hawg hunting on a brite sunny day it will give you fits trying to see the dot properly sometimes you may not even be able to see it. I can see them used on a handgun or a slug or muzzleloader used on deer sized game.but i wouldnt want one on any type of rifle personally. The 3/4 inch groups may just be your gun and the type of 22 you are putting through it.
