OT/Rifle Scope?

For a regular 10/22 I would just get something off the shelf like Nikon, Bushnell, etc. Variable power 3-9X and I like at least a 40mm objective lens. I would definiitely not get a highend scope that costs more than the rifle itself.
 
Guys--- I'll see how I shoot with the open sights first. If I put them close to the bullseye that might be good enough. I did like a scope on my former .22.
Thanks!
 
just for short range a simple red dot or holosight may work for you


but if you are like me optics are needed for any kind of range :D

Iron sights (or massive tactical knobbed, sun-shaded things) are fine for grown-ups, but I find a simple red-dot is good for getting youngsters to 'hit the can" right off the bat.
 
If you want a good rimfire scope, the Mueller APV gets a lot of rave reviews. A bit north of a hundred bucks. You want cheaper, Bushnell 3-9x32 Sportsman Air Gun Scope, ugly scope but works great on a .22. A bit south of a hundred bucks. Make sure you get one with an adjustable objective. Very helpful on a .22 IMHO.
 
Hey Rolf, when I used to sell guns I always stuck 4x simmons scopes on the 10/22's for people. They were always happy that they did not spend an arm and a leg on a 50 yard rimfire and they got such a crisp working lightweight compact scope.

Check out Simmons 4x scopes. Of course there are many other options but I always found this was the best for a simple 10/22. If I remember right they were under 50 bucks.

Good luck, you will figure it out.
 
You can get a nice Leupold Rifleman 2x7x33 scope at Walmart for about $150.00.

The Rifleman scopes are Leupold's cheaper scope, but they are really nice for the money.

Nikon makes some really nice scopes too.
 
We've got a Simmons 22Mag scope on our 10-22, its been very reliable. We also put a set of see through scope rings for those times when we want to use the iron sights. The best of both worlds.
 
A good compact in the 2x7, or 1.5x4 range would be my choice for a plinker.
Small, light, and quik on target at lower range, and enough power at higher range.




If you go bigger you'll need to get a rimfire scope. They have the parallax set
at 50 instead of 100 yds.
I like bigger scopes with an adjustable objectice on most of my bolt action 22's.
My favorite small rimefire scope is the Rimfire version 2x7 leoupold.
 
I have a CZ 452 Trainer(sweet little bolt gun, BTW) and I purchased an old, used Bushnell Sportview 3-9 for $20 from my local gun shop and a set of $10 rings. Total investment of $30 and from a shaky patio table I can have five shots touching @50yds. The cheap route worked for me. Wouldn't go too cheap if it were a centerfire though.

I like a red dot for myself as well. You can pick one up at Cabela's for $30 or go all out with an Aimpoint/Eotech. I have both and won't open that whole Ford vs. Chevy argument. For a 22lr you don't really need too much magnification if any and a red dot is great for rabbit hunting.:D:thumbup:
