What scope do use on your .22?

If you use a scope. Which one, on what kind of rifle, and how does it do for you?

I use a tru-glow 4x32 fixed scope on my Ruger 10/22.
It works perfectly for me. Its just a fun gun, nothing serious. Its got milldots which works really well with a .22lr because they drop pretty fast, but i know exactly which dot to use for whatever distance I'm shooting.

I also have a .22 mag bolt gun that has a 3-9x40 bushnell scope. i think it fits it well, although i wouldnt mind going up to 12x or so.

All of my .22's that are scoped (4) have a 6X24 on them. I leave it on 24 power.

The only one I have a scope on is an old Marlin 25 with an older Bushnell Banner that my 30-06 managed to release the nitrogen out of. It works ok but fogs up if I take it out of the cool house into heat. I doubt I've fired it in the last three years.

RNC, it depends on what you want. I have a Tasco 3-9x40 mounted on my 10/22. Then I have a Barska 3-9x40 mounted on my Marlin Model 99. Then I have an older Weaver mounted to my Glenfield Model 25. On my Ruger 10/22 I mounted the scope rail that Ruger offers for the 10/22, and it works good for it. On my Glenfield I used the see thru scope mounts that fit the factory rails. I put regular rings on my Marlin Model 99. But by doing that the scope is to low and there is less than an 1/8 of an inch between the scope and the wood tha covers the barrel. But I did buy some rings that were raised That fit the factory rails. I just have'nt put them on yet. Take a look at the pics I have posted and that will give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.

I use a 3x9x32 on my marlin 22 mag. Have a 3x9x40 on my savage 22lr semi auto. No scope on my remington pump. All work great for me. But wanting at least a 4x12 for the magnum I use the savage to hunt tree rats.

I just use a nikko sterling mountmaster 4x32 with mildot reticle on my old .22 and attached to that is a led lenser p7 with pressure switch which I use for lighting up possums when doing night shoots on farms.

I use a Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 mil-dot. I like it alot. the only down side is it dose not focus down to 25 yards. so i have to turn the power down to half to get a good picture at 25 yards. And its 1/8th per click... thats good and bad. To shoot out to 200 yards i have to turn the knob 5 times! its easy to get lost. over all im happy with it.

All my Ruger 10/22s are sporting Simmons 3-9x32 scopes. They are plenty adequate for the plinking we do with the .22s

Most of mine wear Bushnell scopes. The one I shoot the most wears a Redfield 2x7.

I use Weaver K-4's on my lighter .22's , but my rimfire target rifles are topped with Weaver T-36's.

Both scope types do very well for me, but having them sitting on top of a quality rifle makes a world of difference.

A cheap Bushnell 3x9 that came on a cheap Remington 770 30.06 I picked up for $150.00.

That's plenty of scope for what my daughter needs on her 10/22.

She's lights out with it.

We have 5 .22's, 4 of them have Bushnells 3X9 on them... I stand corrected... 4 .22's with 3 Bushnells, and 1 with a NcStar.
