Rimfire Scopes

[Maverick44]

I didn't see a thread like this, so I figured I'd start one. What kind of scopes are you guys running? I'm looking for one right now for my old Mossberg, and I found a Bushnell Banner 3.5-10x 36mm for under $50. I'm really thinking about getting it. It's an old, cheap gun and I'm not too keen on paying $150-$200 for a scope just to plink around with. I plan on getting a Ruger Precision Rifle eventually, so I'll probably get a really nice scope for it.

I'll be watching this thread. I bought a Beretta ARX 160 .22LR around Christmas time, and I'm wanting an inexpensive scope for it too. I was thinking about the Simmons .22Mag 4x32 scope you can buy at Wally World for $30, but something in my just can't pull the trigger on a $30 scope.

Went to Academy and picked up a nice BSA scope for my 10/22 and it works just fine for me.

Just put an SWFA SS 10X on my .17 HMR and love it. But I’ve like the scope on several other rifles as well.

I’ve had other scopes in the rifle from BSA to Nikon and didn’t care for them.

See, on some of my .22s, I want a really excellent scope with high magnification available; however, on some others--like say a knock-around 10/22 for the field--I just want a compact, light, clear 4x scope.

Inexpensive, but get the job done.

I got a bunch of recommendations in my thread last year on 10/22 Optics.

Hope that helps.

Should work fine. I have a nice Redfield on my SS Marlin semi but it and the gun was a gift/swap type thing with my brother. I had a cheap 3x9 Banner on my old 22 250 and it was great.

Nikon Prostaff Rimfire ii is an excellent scope for a .22lr. If you look, you can get them for under $100.

I've had a few cheap scopes on my 10/22 over the years. From Bushnell, Simmons & BSA. The last 5 years I've only purchased Vortex scopes for my rifles. Currently I'm running a Vortex 3x9 Crossfire 2 on my 10/22. Its good to 100yards...about all my old eyes can see to now a days. Once you hit 40 you'll know what I mean...I'm sure the guys over 40 can agree...lol.

Hear ya. I turned 69 a few months ago and can’t see sheet. Now I am embroiled in a risky scheme to get new teeth. As old Job said in a famous Book one time, “Man who is born of woman is short of days and full of trouble.”

This is what I’m running on my precision 22.

I run this on my 4wheeler savage .22 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000GU67VU/ref=twister_B0745QZSWV?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Great scope for $40. Had it for 2 years. It didn't survive the fall when it fell off my 4wheeler on a jump.

Very pleased with these for my better shooters.

How you like that BDC reticle? I've looked through them & thought the hollow dots block most of the sight picture. Whats your opinion In real world usage compared to store looking?

I wanna know about this rifle, as I’ve got an ARX100 that I love

I don't know what the ARX100 is like but I held an ARX 160 in Academy and it felt really cheap. It's made by Umarex. The rear sight actually fell apart while I was looking at it.

It’s the Beretta .223 original version of your rifle.

Depends on what you are doing with the rifle.

My 10/22 “supergun” I built has a Vortex Viper PST on it and the 10/22 I shoot the most has an Aimpoint Micro T1 on it.

Everything else has peep sights.
