Scope for 22
I am going to get my son a Ruger 10/22 in the next couple weeks and would like to put a scope on it. Anyone have any suggestions for a 22 cal. scope for under $150 that will last as long as the gun. It will be used mostly for target shooting until I feel he is ready to take hunting with a rifle. He is 9 years old.

If you're not looking for a variable power scope, I would go with this...

I have a 3-9X32 Tasco Pronghornon a Savage MarkII. I have another Savage 22LR with a bull target barrel and a high power Proghornvarmint scope with a large objective and adjustable parallex. I have a halographic sight, 2 MOA,on my 10/22. A Tasco World Class is another option or a Bushnell. I can take a gopher well past 100 yards with any of these sight/rifle combos.

I just have a fairly cheap Simmons Deerfield 3x9 on mine and I like that setup and it's worked well for a .22.

RE: Scope for 22
If you're NOT going to get a special rimfire scope, then get a scope high enough in power such as 4x-12x that will feature adjustable objective. The reason for rimfire scopes is ALL scopes designed for centerfire rifles are factory adjusted for parallax at 100-150 yards, whereas rimfire scopes come from factory parallax adjusted at 50 yards. Parallax is when you are looking through the scope, and when you move your head, the crosshairs appear to move around on the target, and you CAN miss by that amount too.

I have a cheap Simmons Deerfield 3x9 on my Ruger 10/22 and it's a tack driver.
Father in law gave me the scope as it was just collecting dust.. If it ever went south I would put a Nikon Prostaff 4x32 on it. |
RE: Scope for 22
I have a Tasco 4X16X42 with adjustable objective and a Tasco replica of the Aimpoint red dotscope. Both are great for different types of shooting.........

RE: Scope for 22
I have a Tasco 2-7 on my 10/22.Only paid around 25 bucks for it but that was about 30yrs ago.Not real clear but it works great.

RE: Scope for 22
Im looking for a scope for a 22 too, but i want it to shoot yotes. i think it should be adjustable? any ideas?

RE: Scope for 22
countrykat, dont know if i would get a 10-22 for a boy that young. you might want to start him out with a single shot or a bolt action .22 for safety reasons. as for a scope i would suggest a straight 4x or a 3x9 one inch scope. more field of view and better eye relief. just on opinion.

RE: Scope for 22
bushnell banner 3-9x40 worked for my 10/22.
|
RE: Scope for 22
I use simmions 10/22 scope 3x9 AO this scope has served me well.
|
RE: Scope for 22
At 9, I would say a 4x fixed is a best choice. I would look at Simmons, Weaver or Sightron.. .or maybe a red dot might be best. Red dot sights make eye relief less of a struggle which my girls have some trouble with. They are 7 and 12.

RE: Scope for 22
i have bushnell 3-9 32 22scopes on my 22mag and my henry and woodchucker. I've got good service out of them.

RE: Scope for 22
Another vote for the Nikon 4x32 Prostaff. It's an astoundingly good scope for the $, and will certainly last a lifetime.

Age don't mean squat, it's how well they take to learning proper gun handling. My boy is 3 and I plan on getting him on a BB gun next year. |

My two new Butler Creek 25rnd Hot Lips mags came in yesterday, can't wait to do some more plinking. I tested both yesterday and they pop right in. I have an extended mag release and they fall right out when I press the release. (Must have item that cost me $15 -free shipping) What year is your 10/22 from? http://ruger.com/Firearms/PS-SerialNumberHistory.html I've heard of people having problems with the aftermarket mags on newer models. |
RE: Scope for 22
Mine is probably 4 years old or so. Not all that old. It works fine it's just that you have to push and wiggle to get it in there where as the factory one goes in fine. Not sure what the deal with it is. Seems to go in easier if you hold the magazine release and then push it in tight and then let go of it. I have the normal magazine release not the extended ones. It does come out just fine though. I've heard of others having this issue too but not sure what magazines they are using.
