I’ve got a Redfield Tac 22. It shouldn’t work because it’s a Redfield....but it sure as does. Pretty sweet

My stock 10/22 wears a Mueller APV 4.5-14×40 AO in Leupold Rifleman rings on the factory rail. A no frills plinker I put together just 'cause.

Old Vari X II 4-12XAO.
Now wears a Freedom VX 3-9X EFR



Picked up a used VX3 2.5-8X. Old 67 standard is gone, so is scope.
Liked the scope but had ring marks. Will get a new one for next centerfire rifle.

VX1 2-7X I've had on several rifles and a Redfield Rev.
Liked the Redfield fine except for logo on bell and turret.
Damn I hate that red chit.
Think I got the R on the bell off w acetone and gave the scope to my dad for his Rem 572.

I HAVE A BAUSCH & LOMB 3000, 2-7X32MM, DUPLEX, MATTE ON MY HB.

ON MY TD I USE A LEUPOLD VXIIC, 2-7X28RF,FINE DUPLEX, I USUALLY TAKE THE HB FOR SAGE RATS BUT TOOK THE TD THIS YEAR. LOTS OF FUN.

I LIKE THE LEUPOLD A LOT SO i GOT A NEWER ONE I NEED TO PUT ON SOMETHING.

Wifey’s toy....😎

Ruger action, barrel and innards are Volquartsen. Stock is a B&C with an Aimpoint CompM pointer.

Burris Short Mag 4x

Just bought a 10-22 and will need a scope by Fall so am following this thread. Interesting info but my need is too specialized to fit most suggestions. For decades I ran a 3-9x32 Bushnell on a 10-22 I had, and till my eyes went bad, it was excellent.

Now my eyes are wonky due to multiple surgeries, won't focus on close things through a scope, and don't see irons very well. Plus probably 20% of my shots on game with a .22 are 5 yards or less, head shots at grouse.

Here is a flyer in the group: I am seriously considering a cheap UTG Bug Buster air rifle scope because the OA adjusts to within 3 yards. I'd prefer a close focus AO scope in 1-6, or at least down in the 2-7 range but the Bug Busters come in 3-9 and higher variables. 10 yards is NOT close focus in this context!

I tried a low end one power red dot on my last .22 and killed a lot of grouse with it, but missed a lot of shots closer than 18 feet, and my worst hitting percentage was point blank at 6-9 feet. Much of the problem with the red dot was that it sat so high above the bore that I needed nearly a two inch riser on the comb of the stock to get a cheek weld and had to compensate by aiming waaay high on close shots. I was just getting used to how high when I traded it off.

Posted not to hijack but on the outside chance that anyone else has similar eye/optic problems.

All of the Rem 51x-series and 58x-series are plain ole open sights, unless they came with peep sights.

Rem 37 had a EGW 20MAO rail w/SWFA 3-15 MOA-quad on it for a while (aalf made me do it !)

Millett Multi-Dot SP 3,5,8,10 Min dot....

Nice. SPC or the recent Canadian Centennial?

Hard to beat the Weaver 2.5-7X rimfire scope.

Canadian

Thanks hookeye. I 'think' I am good now and trying not to fix something that is working for me- know what I mean? Reminds me.....order replacement stock for ADL !!!! grrrrrrrr

Had lots of fun with the basic 10/22 carbine wearing a Leupold 1.5-5x20 all thru the '80s and' '90s. A killer combination.

Must be something wrong....... scope or rifle IDK!!! 10 shots 20yds...

I will make an attempt to post pictures later. I have a 10/22 stainless/laminated with regular weight barrel. I have a Leupold 4x28 rimfire on it in Burris Zee rings and a Weaver base. Like it a lot - small, compact, scope scaled for rifle. But to be honest, I think the 2-7x28 rimfire is a lot better scope. For me, the perfect set up is Leupold 2-7x28 Rimfire, Burris Rings, Weaver base. That is NOT a heavy barrel.

I just bought the above for $100 from Natchez for my recently acquired 1966 vintage 10-22.

Love that Manlicher stock on your 10-22!
