Need Recommendation for .22 scope
I' ve been shooting my .22s over iron sights for many years, but now would like to put a good quality scope on a Ruger 10/22. Suggestions for rings/bases also welcome.
Thanks!

RE: Need Recommendation for .22 scope
I really like the Leupold VX II and thats what my 77/22 wears. I have a friend that swears by his Bushnell Banner 3X9 which is mounted on a 10/22. I know he has never had any trouble with it. That might be the way to go if you want to save yourself a few bucks. Bases and rings? I like Leupold or Burris.
Hope that helps some.

i just bought the simmons 4x32 scope and put it on a brand new marlin 22. it was a wopin 50 bucks and bass pro and i love it. no need to blow the bank on a 22 and i got it all for $170. but i love the scope, cheap and good quality.

Thanks, guys for your suggestions. For sure the scope will be a 1 inch variety. Whether it will be a variable or fixed is still up in the air. I' ll be checking what is available, at the range the next couple weekends and then make a selection. In the meantime, keep your suggestions coming!

I have a Simmons 22 Mag 4X32 and it' s crystal clear and holds zero since I bought it 2 years ago. Cabelas sells it for 39.99 and you might be able to get it even cheaper at some of the other shooting supply companies. I bought mine from Midway when they had it on sale for about $36.
