Scope

Scope. Can't really lead with the laser.

what's wrong with simple iron sights?
for the task at hand, i rekon open sights would be the way to go.

 

[cramsey3006]

Absolutely nothing wrong with iron sights at all. I'll be the first to admit though, that once it's past 20 yds or so, I have a hard time finding squirrels in trees looking over iron sights.

I have played with red dots on my Rem 597....really not bad at all out to about 50yds....

But I prefer a 4x32 scope on my marlin 60, and open on my Winchester 67

Use a scope, I can only see using a red dot to clear rooms. Call it a left over from the military. If you have to use a red dot to pick off those little creatures I think you may need to find a hobby

Just got my first 10/22 with a red dot scope. So far I'm liking it a lot. It's pretty easy to dial in. Most of my shooting has been under 100yds ; not too sure how it is at longer ranges. Sure beats using open sights with my poor vision.
