| Choice of optics for 10/22
Choice of optics for 10/22 (I will be cross posting this to several forums) Likely this has been covered ad nauseum (I did check), but I beg your indulgence. My wife will be attending a upcoming Appleseed weekend workshop, and then I will 2 months later. For this we will be buying a Ruger 10/22. We wanted one anyway, but now we have an excuse. :^) So, she really likes iron sites...I like optics. Since there is an effective range of 50-100yds, we don't need a whole lot. Also, I would kinda like to be a cheap bastard for this. (can I say cheap here?) I am looking for opinions and recommendations for the following: -A MUST - see-through optics mount This one with regular rings night be a bit high, but great for a red dot.
10/22 RUGER RIFLE SEE-THRU SCOPE MOUNT & Combat Optical Inc. Coupons This might be fine for a regular scope.
Kwik-Site See-Thru Mount For Ruger 10/22 KSRU22. Kwik-Site Riflescope Mounts, Rings & Bases.
=========== Scopes Once again, since this is for 100yds or less, I don't need massive zoom and the exit optic can't cover the iron sights. I have been toying with the thought of a 2x red dot.

Considering the general accuracy of the base model 10/22 being an average 2.5" group at 50 yards until you enhance it, I'd get a Center Point 3-9x40 for $60, or a 4-16x40 for $80.

Thanks! | Cheap is good on a 10/22. All of our 10/22s have "See Thru" mounts and Simmons 3-9x30 scopes.
They work just fine for scope or iron shooting.

I'd like the Sweet 22 scope for a 10/22.

since you stated your max effective range i would recommend a nikon prostaff.
its a little over $110 for the fixed 4x but when it comes to shooting and scopes you get what you pay for and you can use this scope for a lifetime and transfer it to other weapons .
otherwise any old scope would do.

Simmons is a very good inexpensive scope.

Beware : The new Simmons co is Meade Optics which is a step down from the Simmons Co (Blount) of the 90's and early 2000's.
Bushnell still makes a good scope for the 1022 as does Mueller, Nikon and Intensity. I like 3X9X32AO
Here's my 2001 edition Simmons 1022T It's an outstanding value!

That works! Paralaxing is tricky though.

For ANYONE who buys a Center Point Scope...do NOT use the Included rings!!!
They will cause you grief & "shooting around the Clock", as they use a double sided tape that tends to release it's sticky after you've been in the sun for a little while.
If you take the time to remove the tape & LAP the rings out properly, they will function properly...but it's far easier to just get a set of Weaver 49515 see-thru rings for $10 at Walmart
