Greetings,
I am relatively new to shooting. I picked up my first pistol, a G17Gen4 back in September. Now it's time for the first rifle, and I decided (a long while ago) the Ruger 10/22 is probably the best place to start (for me). I have used my friends 10/22 on multiple occasions. I don't have any interest in hunting (for now), just target shooting.
I want to get the most basic model 10/22 and have a ATI Strikeforce stock put on it. I'm interested in the strikeforce for three reasons, the adjustable stock, the acc. rails, and the looks. I plan to buy a bipod with it (rail mounted.)
The biggest problem I have is settling on the optics. I don't want something cheap but I don't want to break the bank either. I'm looking for something optimized for approx. 25-150+ yds., and I don't really want to pay more than $150-200. I have been browsing sites like Cabelas and Wolverine etc. for a few weeks now, and I am overwhelmed with the options for scopes.
I would greatly appreciate any advice on this setup, especially the optics.
Thanks!
