Thanks everyone. I am going to go with optics on this rifle, looking to be around 200.00 for a budget on that, been looking into them, Nikon, Leupold, Aetec and my friend was telling me about one that started with an H but I don't remember it off the top of my heads.
Also we are splitting the cost of a Savage Mark II F .22LR to shoot at the range with.
