I would go with a one inch scope and not the little rimfire scopes. If you do ,almost and 4, 6, 0r 2x7 scope that is clear and has crosshairs that are not to heavy will work fine. I found a real clear tasco scope about thirty years ago and put it on my remmington bolt action 22. Its still on there and I have shot countless hundreds of bricks of shells through that rifle.
