Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Scope my Ruger 10/22

I've been out of the .22 game for awhile. I bought a NIB Ruger, didn't get around to shooting it. I saw a woodchuck in my backyard eating my new grass and I missed him twice with the irons. I'm looking for a scope under $100, what do you suggest? Thanks.

Bushnell A17 3.5x10x36 @ CDNN Sports for $50.

Old school I know but I love the Weaver steel tube K4s with the straight wires for .22lr.

Don't underestimate a simple red dot too.

Just don’t use a Leupold 4x28 rimfire, according to the Campfire they don’t track

They look like crap, too short. Get the 2-7X rimfire (older non VX Freedom). They look better.
Bought a 4x rimfire (recent model) and put it on an international 10/22.

Did not look good. Scope worked fine, but just too short- looked funky.

The ol lady has a TRS25 on her 50th yr black/grey lam standard.
My fingergroove wears a VX1 2-7X.

Under $100, if new then maybe a Nikon closeout of some sort?

Thanks guys!

I would just give Doug at cameraland a call. that is exactly what I did when scoping my 10/22. put a 3x9x40 minox on there. $109

Imo 2-7 is as good as it gets on 10/22.
I also used 4x and never felt over or under scopes.
Nikon has been good to me, I’d look for a close out or used.
I had the Minox and the cross hair was little fat for me
There are some good deals that come up on here

It is hard to break a scope just by looking through it and no one that I know cranks the adjustments much after their rifle is sighted in. Used older scopes are better than new inexpensive ones. My own 10/22 Sporter has a Leupold 2.5-8-36 on low mounts and it works well.

I’ve got a new in the box Vortex Crossfire II, 2-7x32 rimfire With V-Plex reticle that you can have for $90 shipped if you want it. Send me a PM if you’re interested.
