Title: What scope do you have on your 10/22?
Post by: Carl 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:
Carl

Post by: Bluemoon on January 08, 2013, 10:06:25 AM: 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:

Post by: marlin on January 08, 2013, 10:10:56 AM: 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........

Post by: thinkingman on January 09, 2013, 04:11:39 PM: 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.

Post by: huntandjeep on January 12, 2013, 08:37:18 PM: 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.

Post by: Eli346 on April 07, 2013, 06:40:39 PM: 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.

Post by: CastleRocker on April 15, 2013, 04:09:07 PM: 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 have the same. For the money you can't beat it. Plus, you won't cry if you happen to bounce it off the ground.

Post by: yorketransport on June 29, 2013, 10:07:37 AM: 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.

I saw the Nikon 22 3-9x40 BDC scope on sale at Cabelas tonight for $119.
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.

Title: Re: What scope do you have on your 10/22?
Post by: webbspinner on September 24, 2013, 09:44:03 PM: 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.
