I need a scope for my .22 and I've narrowed it down but I'd like some input before I make the purchase. I'm looking for something that will be good for all applications. The rifle I'm putting it on is a Savage 64FVSS. Here are the contestants:

Bushnell .22 Rimfire
3-9x32

Bushnell .22 Rimfire
4x32

Bushnell Sportsman
3-9x32

Bushnell Trophy Wide Angle
3-9x40

Simmons .22 Mag
3-9x32

Simmons .22 Mag
4x32
 
If you want a cheap .22 scope, you can't go wrong with a 3-9x40 Bushnell... Walmart has the cheapest prices on them.

I used to shoot a fixed 4x, but found the gophers a little easier to see with 9x.

If your rings allow it, go with a 40mm over a 32mm... little better light gathering.
 
You'll have to forgive my ignorance I just got my PAL and this is my first rifle. What do you mean by if my rings allow? Don't you purchse rings seperately?

I think he's assuming you allready have a set of rings. If not... then the choice of scope size is yours... find the heighth needed.... then buy the rings. If you allready have rings... then you need a scope that will fit.
 
Get the Simmons line of scopes. I personally like Simmons over Bushnell for the lower end stuff. I prefer the finish and the optics are pretty much equal across the board. Probably cause they are all made in China....
 
Get the Bushnell 3-9x32 rimfire, I have one on my Marlin 7000 and it is a great little scope for under $50 and it comes with a set of scope rings. I have no experience with the Simmons but I love the Bushnell.
 
I have the Bushnell 3-9x32 rimfire, and it's just fine on my Rem 597.
The scope already comes with dovetail mount rings, so you may not have to buy them separately.
 
I have the Bushnell .22 Rimfire 3-9x32, I mas much happier with it when i swapped to millet rings on a canitlever mount on my porject 10-22
 
I just got a Bushnell .22 Rimfire 3-9x32, and I'm very happy with it. :mrgreen:
BTW it comes with a set of "tip off" rings for grooved recivers, and a set of see through scope covers.
 
What are you using the scope for?

Target shooting usually requires a different scope than hunting & plinking.

For plinking I would recommend the Bushnell Trophy.

If you are primarily wanting to use the gun for target use I would suggest something with higher power & an adjustable objective lens, rather than the scopes listed in the poll.

Rod. :wink:
 
if you have gun shows going anywhere near yer place see if you can find old K6 or K8
Weavers.they should go for around 100-120$.
those old scopes have perfect optics and are build strong.
ony thing is -they are NOT fogproof, but for target work whey rock :mrgreen:
