A few of their more expensive models are not too bad, like the $200 tactical models, but the cheaper ones are crap in my opinion. I had one and it was horrible. In my opinion if you are going cheap BSA and Bushnell are about the best two for the money. The Simmons and Tascos are ok, but a bit less impressive in my opinion.

Cabela's pine ridge models are not bad either, and you get the cabela's warranty. As far as scopes go though you can get better prices than what Cabela's offers if you are looking to buy online.

Something to keep in mind is you don't need a big ole high powered scope for a .22. So don't think you need to get a 3-9x40 or something just to plink with a .22. A good fixed 4X will work fine or a 1.5-4 or 2-7x32, all of those are plenty of magnification for a .22. And a scope with less power for the same money is usually a bit better scope.
