One of mine wears a Weaver 2-7X. Not the rimfire version.

You might want to consider a SWFA a 2-10 x 32 lightweight. I have two, on a 17 HMR Ultralight Volquartsen and a Remington Model 7. Cost and weight are both low. $349 and only 9.5 oz https://swfa.com/scopes/swfa-ss/

I’ve got a vari-x 3.5 x10 on my Annie 1720, same on my HK 300. A 30.00 norinco copy of a leupold 6x42 on my 10/22M, 2x7 leupold on my Brno 611 and a bushnell scopechief on my 1894M. Nothing on my CMR, but I think a little red dot would be perfect.
10/22M is more accurate than the HK…🤣

Great timing for your post, I have had a 2-7x33 Nikon Monarch on mine, now with my older eyes getting worse I am considering at least a 3-9. I am thinking about a Leupold Freedom Ultimate Spam, I like the reticle better than their duplex.

One of mine wears a Weaver 2-7X. Not the rimfire version. I had a really nice 611 w/6x36 Leupold on it I bought for a song. Ended up selling it to a friend after shooting it very little the 2yrs I owned it. When I see them, I still wince at having sold it even though it's in a good home where it'll get used....

My 22M has an SWFA 6x on it. PA down to 10 yds. More than enough adjustment to mess around at long range. Works well on varmints. Overall it's been a great set up for tons of relatively cheap fun.

Last one I scoped I put a Burris 3-9 on a BCA upper in 22 mag. Probably better choices but I had it laying around

I put a Simmons 2.8-10x Aetech scope on my 22 mag. The first one went belly up but it was a Chinese made scope back when Meade owned the Simmons name. The current one is a Philippines (or Japan or S. Korean, anyplace but China) made scope that I've had since the mid-1980's. I expect it to do fine.

The little Sightron 3x9 Rimfire wouldn’t over weight the rifle. Doug could help you out with that one.

I have almost what you want. A Hawke Vantage 4x32AO and a Marlin 983T in 22 WMR. I have the mildot reticle which is a silly thing for a 22 Magnum, but these particular scopes are supposed to be rated for centrefire rifles. I wouldn't put it on a 308 or similar, but I would trust them on a 222 or a 223. In the year that I've had it, she has not caused any trouble. Not a review; just a snapshot. It is difficult to find a fixed powder scope, but this particular one is working fine. Even with the mildot and AO, I sighted it in and use it to point and shoot. I used a BKL dovetail mount and it's solid. The best thing is the scope and mount cost less than $200 CDN, or about $160 USD. In USD, the mount is $40. The scope is $110. https://www.bkltech.com/BKL-4-inch-Long-Cantilever-Dovetail-Mount-p/bkl-254.htm

My American also has a 6x SWFA. Be just as happy with a LH4 4-16x.

I put the Vantage with 22 WMR reticle on mine, a Ruger American, and I'm pleased.

Good luck getting an Arken LH. I've had a LH4 4-16x44 Arken ordered since before Christmas. Don't know if it will ever show up. They had no problem taking my money. IF the dang thing ever shows up I'll probably sell it NIB. Haven't even received the scope and I'm already sick of Arken.
I have a Hawke Airmax 4-12x40 AO with their AMX reticle that I'd sell if you are interested, shoot me a PM.
