10/22 red dot scope

[Buster95]

Any suggestions for a good red dot scope for a 10/22 standard model?

I have a Tasco, NcStar and a Leapers.
They are definitely not " Top Shelf " material by any stretch, but I would recommend them for a .22 rifle any day!

http://www.fabsports.ca/mainang.html has lots of fun stuff and service that cannot be beat. Ebay also has good stuff, but then you have to wait for it to come all the way from china

I have of those coming in the mail. I guess they've been discontinued from what I was told. Price was right, and it has a 3moa dot which I was looking for.
Pictures/small review when it gets here.

It's a .22...any cheapo one on Ebay will work. I have a 42mm BSA red dot on my Nordic build.

Bushnell or Tasco

Anybody know how those inexpensive (<$50) Tasco red dots perform under cold/wet conditions? Any leaking or internal fogging issues?

My dad has one on his 10/22 and I have one on my savage bolt and they work great. We use them for grouse and it feels like cheating since we stopped using the iron sights.

Got tasco ones at walmart for <50.

ninepointer, I picked one up at Canadian Tire for 49.99. Seemed a good buy. You can tell its a bit cheaper, but seemedto work fine. Tighten it properly, and it calibrates well. The covers are cheap and you can lose them, so care is good. Thinking of attaching a little black wire to hold these together and to the scope.

As for the fogging, I had it out in -5 or so, and it fogged up a little bit, but just externally. Migth have been my breath? A little wipe and I was good to go. For a .22, this is an adequate and inexpensive red dot solution. Fun to use, can keep both eyes open and the target aquisition is instant. Also, red-dots are safer in the way that you can keep constant observation on your firing vector instead of getting optical tunnel vision.

I want a magnified scope eventually for my tactical 10/22, but for now this does it.
