| 10-22 sights I thinking about getting a 10-22 and wonder what kind of sights I should get. My old eyes are having difficulty using open sights. I plan on plinking and hunting out to 75 yards max. I have not used a red dot sight but they look as they would be fast and solve the sight problem. How accurate are they out to 75 yds compared to a scope. Thanks montveil |

| My brother has a red dot on his Browning Buckmark pistol and does quite well on squirrels with it.

| I had a cheap $25 BSA scope on mine until yesterday when I switched it out for a Barska I had bought a while back. It wasn't the best in the world, but I could hit within 6 inches at 100 yards after sighting it in for 50. I'm sure with some good ammo you could get it accurate enough at 75 yards. I've never tried red dots so I'm not sure about them.

| Throw a scope on there. Maybe a good quality fixed 4X.

| +1 for a fixed-power scope. 4x is good for a .22 rifle. Most .22 scopes are rugged and (unlike red dots) they don't need batteries. |

| Go over to rimfirecentral.com and read all about the 10/22 and what you can do to them. The Mueller AVP is one of the best scopes for it.

| Dots are ok, but on the less expensive ones, the MOA can be up to 4, which means the dot can cover 4.16" at 100 yards. If you're shooting 100 yards or closer, a 22 scope is probably what you want, since parallax is adjusted to about 75-100 yards. Old eyes need scopes, since things blur. The smartest thing to do is to go to an outdoor store, like Cabela's, where you can mount scopes on a 'try stock' & try them. The best scope for you is the one which gives YOU the best image and that can range from Tasco to BSA to Burris to Leupold to Nikon, etc, etc. It varies from person to person. You get the idea - take your time & don't settle for something they hand you at the counter. The higher the price within brands, the better the optics - lenses, coatings, etc. For us old folks, less refracted light is a good thing, because it keeps the image bright. Count on $100 as a base line so you won't be surprised. BSA makes a Sweet .22 with 3 turrets - for different bullet weights & has end bell parallax adjustment (same as side focus, but on the end of the scope. There's a 2-7x32 for a bit less than the 3-9x40. Good stores, like Cabelas, Gander Mountain, & Bass Pro will also mount & bore site your scope. The 10-22 comes with a scope mount & all you need is rings plus scope. You'll need to determine which - low, medium, or high, but if one isn't right for proper cheek weld to stock & eye alignment to scope, they'll trade you & make it right. |

| fine sights swap out those fine & fragile sights for some Marlin 60 sights, they are cheap and work. |
