What's your preference on 10 and 50m and why?

I use a M22 for smallbore because I have an extremely long sight radius and the M18 just seemed too small way out there. The M22 was easier to center up in my rear sight and also gave me a larger field of view in the front sight such that I could see wind flags more easily.

I also use a M22 for air rifle because thats what came with my Feinwerkbau and to keep my equipment somewhat consistent component wise.

FWIW, I use an M22 tunnel at the end of a 10" tube on a standard length 1913 barrel with the front of the rearsight positioned at the "0" notch right behind the loading port -- and it's just far enough out to give me the right amount of white space around the tunnel (and I could probably go to a 12" tube if I wanted).

Unfortunately, the only way to find out which one works best for you is to try both if you can. So far I really like the larger M22 and can't see myself changing -- right now anyway. :)
