I'd look for something a bit better than a rimfire scope. These rifles are ACCURATE! I have a 20 power scope on mine. I own the savage.

A nice 3x9 would work though. An actual rimfire scope might have the parallax set to close for one for one these rifles. BSA makes a scope especially for it that has a bullet drop compensator built into it. From what I understand they work ok, but they don't have great optics compared to more expensive scopes. Typical of a 100 dollar scope though.

You can get some great deals on the internet. There are some .44 mag scopes going for 100 dollars on of the scope sites, I don't remember which one off the top of my head though.
