Title: Rimfire Scope
Post by: elksnout on April 07, 2019, 06:29:21 PM: I would like to put a scope on my .22 rimfire for plinking and popping grouse as my eyes have aged. What is a decent low cost (Approx. $100 bucks) scope that might fit that requirement?

Thanks
Elksnout

Bought a couple and now wished I would have bought a dozen more. I have a couple other Konus scopes on rifles that are mostly safe queens, and they all hold a perfect zero and are very clear. Never spent more than $100 either.

I have a 4X 32mm and it’s perfect.

Post by: KopperBuck on April 09, 2019, 09:25:10 AM: I got the Vortex 2-7 Crossfire II mentioned earlier. My buddy has the Leupold on his and I like it too. But for less money I liked the Vortex better.

Post by: nutntoit on April 24, 2019, 07:59:45 AM: I agree with Vortex for value/quality. All of the vortex scopes I have used are equally as good as any of my Leupolds in the same tier. Plus the VIP warranty makes it an easy choice.

Street price is usually quite a bit less.

Mine is a 4x, but Midway has a 2-7 for $58.99. I usually buy better glass than I need to, but I've gotten a lot of bank for the buck from this cheap scope. Haven't had to resight it once.
