Put a Vortex 2-7 on a old mossberg auto I inherited from dad. I told the gunsmith who mounted it for me, most people would think putting a $180 scope on a rifle that new cost $40-50 a little loony. He replied, some of us love rifles just as much as we love money. We both laughed. Love the Vortex.

VX 6 is coming out going to be a lot of cheap VX II/III stuff floating around out there soon. I'm rubbing my hands in anticipation.

I've got a Weaver V-16 on my Win. 52 rat rifle, and a 2x7 on my other .22. Prefer the V-16 as I sometimes have to see just a little corner of a critter peaking out of it's hole. If they weren't so expensive, my .22's would all have 6 x 24 scopes on them.

I've been seeing lots of Bushnell and Bausch&Lomb Elite 3000 and 3200 scopes for cheap money. Saw a couple 4x12 Bushnell elites at a gunshow this morning for around $150. Wish I had some cash on me this time....

Keep in mind, the way most .22's are made, you need to raise the scope with higher rings than normal because of the bolt throw. Since most 22's are designed for iron sights, you will probably not get a good cheek weld unless you install a leather pad or have a new stock built to accomodate scope usage by using a higher comb and/or a cheek piece of some type.
