What scope do you have on your 10/22?
« on: January 08, 2013, 10:01:55 AM »
And, would you buy it again or a different scope?

I'm hoping to have a 10/22 in the next couple of weeks and I'm looking for scope suggestions.  I want to keep it under $100 if possible.

Purpose - plinking, ground squires, small game. 

Thanks for the ideas, :tup:

Mine came with a Redfield fixed 4 power.  It was very accurate out to 100 yards.  However, My 15 year old son was getting to cocky thinking and stating how good of a shot he was.  So the scope came off.  It is amazing how iron sights can humble a young lad.. :chuckle: :chuckle:

I have a cheap Simmons 4x on mine. Like you I didn't see breaking the bank on something I just plink with.

Bushnell 3-9x32mm rimfire scope.. I think theyre discontinued, but it was like $50 and its a great rimfire scope. Im thinking about moving it from my 10/22 to my Marlin 981T which has only iron sights right now.

It's awesome.
It has built in balistic reticles for 3 different bullet wieghts.
I have mine dialed in to shoot the head off a grouse from any yardage out to 100 yards.
and it was less than $100.

That actually looks pretty ideal for a 10-22.  Hmmmmm........

I have a heavily-modded 10/22 and a Swift Premier 6-18.
Excellent scope.
I just bought my son a Nikon Prostaff 4X and it is outstanding.

I had a Simmons on mine it worked  :chuckle:. After the rebuild I put on a Cabelas model 3x9x40 on it. Way better than the Simmons.

 Simmons 3x9x40 on my break down and a Bushnell 2x7x32 on my other one. Both work good but I like the larger reticle on the Simmons.

Got four 10/22's.  One has an old Leupold 3-9, one has a Nikko Sterling 3.5-10, one Nikko Sterling 3-9, (both NS's are POS by the way).   

Going to put GOOD glass on both as soon as I can collect enough cans from the side of the road.

I like to use the scopes that come on package rifles. I had a drawer full of Simmons and Bushnells that worked great on 22s. They all work well enough to hit rabbits at any reasonable 22 range.

if you get the BDC look at the reticle, I didn't like mine at all and eventually sold it.  Nikon does have rebates at times on their scopes.  I got $50 off mine.

built one for the wife, started out as a hot pink rifle, then she told me she didn't want a pink gun, love that women  :chuckle:  so I sanded and fitted the stock to her and then put a pentax 4-12 with the ballistic reticule cause I had it and she likes the 4-16 mil dots on mine.  pretty happy with how it turned out and very accurate. I have another one to build for myself, got a 4-16 centerpoint scope from wal-mart.  had good luck with these for 22's and sage rats.  Buddy uses a tasco on his 6-18 mil dot I think.  fun guns, can't wait to get mine rolling for rats next year.
