Title: What is a good, reasonably priced.....
Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on June 05, 2011, 11:16:51 AM: I have an old Remington "Matchmaster" 513T bolt action .22 I inherited from my father, and want to put a scope on it, curious what a reasonably priced scope for it would run $$$, don't have much money, but don't want to put a POS on it...
Any suggestions ?

I have a 4-12 on my 10/22 and a 6-18 on one of the black guns. They have always worked great. The 3-9 runs like 60ish at bi mart the 4-12 like 90 and the 6-18 like 120. You can also find them on sale for less.

if it will be a heavily used grouse getter then a nikon prostaff, redfeild, or bushnell banner. $120

Post by: jackelope on June 07, 2011, 02:49:36 PM: On a gun like that I'd like to put something old or period looking on it. I wouldn't be too interested in putting a moden scope with dial turrets on it or something like that on a neat old rifle like that.
I think all of the scopes that have been mentioned are great .22 scopes...I just like to stick with what fits.

I bought a BSA once..... had to ground the tube inside just to get it close to zero. :bash: wish i would have bought a barska since i was looking for a cheap scope at the time.
