Hi, I am looking for some suggestions on a scope for a .22lr rifle (gun is a mossberg 144LS). Anyone know of some good .22 scopes that aren't super expensive ($200 or less), and should I get a scope specifically for a .22lr? I will be shooting targets at 100yrds, weight doesn't matter, would prefer one with decent magnification (3-9) at least.

I've had good luck so far with a bushnell rimfire 3-9x32. I'm more just for plinking, so if you're going to be doing anything more serious than that you might want something more.
I've also used a simmons 22mag 3-9 and it had worked well so far, but the bushnell rimfire was far better in quality.
I haven't use one myself, but I have heard of quite a few guys who use the Tasco Varmint scopes for 100m shooting and like them. they're no Nikon/leupold/ect, but they won't break the bank either.

Hawke also has a varmint 3-9 with illuminated glass etched reticule and .22lr BDC for around $180.

The Vortex Crossfire II 3-9 x40 is a great option and around that price range I believe.

A\O not made in china for 200$... the closest to your budget that i know of is the NIKON - PROSTAFF RIMFIRE II - 3-9X40 - MATTE TARGET EFR PRECISION RET. - ADJ. OBJ. for 230$ They also offer a 4-12X40 without a\o in their rimfire line for 180$

I have a bushnell banner shotgun scope on my only .22lr. Had the same on another as well. Work great on .22's. I have a Nikon pro staff rim fire bdc on it's way but I hear now that they are only calibrated for stingers at 1600 fps.
If you could stretch your budget to $246 you could get a Sightron SIH 4-12X40 AO (made in Japan). I just bought a similar model (SIH-TAC 4-12X40 AO) and I am very happy with it. I have owned multiple Leupold, Vortex, Mueller, Bushnell, etc and this blows them all away YMMV.
I have 2 crossfire ii's on my 22lr.They track well and are plenty clear enough for shooting off a bench.One is 4-16x50 other is 6-24x50 a few pennies more than your budget but lifetime warranty AO and lots of magnification for the buck.

I totally agree. If you can afford, it's great scope for a rimfire. I like sightron SIH series for rimfire use. Two of my rimfire have a Sightron on them.
