10/22 Optics

[Rockjock]

I am looking for a scope for my 10/22. Target, squirrel, rabbit, etc.
What would be a good size? Magnification and Objective Lens?
What are good rings and base? What do I need for the 10/22?
I have been looking primarily at Vortex.

Thanks,

Kevin

4-12 with an AO

X2! I wish mine were AO

Leupold mark 4 6.5-20x50

So that's what they do with those fake ones on eBay

ok so its just temporary.... lol fixing to put it on my 300 when i get it back



i am likely going with the vx3 3-7x33 for the 22.... i believe mike d also runs one similar.

Should have said I wasn't really looking in the 1000 - 1700 range but more around 200 or less.

I need to read and look into the AO scopes.

Do you mount on the factory base or use an after market base?

Thanks.

i was just giving ya a hard time brotha.... no way id mount a scope like i have on it and leave it. i just wanted to shoot the gun and it was the only scope i had laying around lol

on the above pictured, it has a rail built into the reciever....

what do you plan to do with this 22? just shoot it? just a toy? going for accuracy?

im not real big into rimfire stuff, but blake and artos could for sure lead you in the right direction

if its fake, i got reamed and its a high quality fake lol

Also are the entry level Bushnell scopes worth a darn?

Like this model: Bushnell Banner 4-12x40 w/Adjustable Objective Matte

[Rockjock]

I just want to shot. Plinking, play at the range, small game, thats all.

Depends on what the factory rimfire bases look like.. If they are a mm rail I usually unscrew em and go with an aftermarket.

4-12x40 leupold vx1 or 2 (I or ii) AO Is what I'd go for. I used to think the 3-9x40 non adjustable would suffice.. But I've found faults quick shooting p dogs...

Not saying the 3-9 or 4-12 non adjustable leupolds won't work... They will. Especially on top of a suppressed weapon.... These were within feet of each other.

i have a weaver 44/40 4-12x44 with AO i will sell ya cheap if your interested.... $100 plus shipping

is it the best? no.... but it would work fine on a 22 i have had it a long time, as i got it new in a trade and i mounted it to a 243 for 5 shots, switching it out to a nikon monarch i have sitting in the safe

I think I may be out of my leage here. I am a bit of an amateur.

I think the base that came with my rifle is like this.

I have a cheap Tasco 3x9x40 on mine and its been just fine. Sighted it in about 15 years ago and it's been that way since. Has had several thousand rounds through it.
