- - 10/22 Scope (https://www.huntingnet.com/forum/small-game-predator-trapping/224408-10-22-scope.html)

Hey Guys IM pretty sure that this has been on here before but im gonna ask anyways, what would be the best scope for a 10/22 on a budget under 80$ If any lol

Simmons has a 3x9 32mm scope for about $40 it comes with the mounts as well. I just bought one for my 10/22 I got for Christmas.

i just bought an fm 3-9 mil dot for 58 bucks and its clearer than my burris. i may be buying a couple more for my higher power rifles. im extremely pleased!!!!

What Bout A TruGlo redot? i was looking at them

As much as I hate Tasco I put one on my 10/22 ruger. If you think about it.....its a 22. Throw a Tasco or a Simmons (3X9)on it and you'll never know the difference. Have Fun.

I hate to disagree buuuuuuuut. Just because it's a .22 doesn't mean that you have to settle for poor optics. Check out www.rimfirecentral.com and see what people think about cheap scopes. Do a search for Mueller optics, for just a little more ($115) they make a 4.5-14x40 with an adjustable objective lens that not only corrects for parallax but it's marked for yardage. In other words focus on your target and the graduations will tell you how far your target is. I have a tasco on my 10/22 and I hate it. I use it for squirrels and I only take body shots out to 40 yards. I also have the Mueller on my Marlin 917V .17 hmr and I can hit a squirrel in the head at over 100 yards. Granted the .22 long rifle is no match for the .17 hmr but there's no reason that you can't take a head shot on a squirrel out to 75 yards, especially if you know the distance to your target.

centaur, i looked on Mueller optics website and i could not find this scope your talking about...could you please post a model name or link possibly? im really interested in this scope

I thought you were happy with the red dot you got for it...One nice thing about the red or green dot scopes that I like is you more or less just point the thing..But sometimes the dot is too big for small targets..Tell us how you made out with it..
