Which Scope for my New Ruger 10/22?

[ericling]

Just bought a new Ruger 10/22, and I am sick of the scope that I have. Would someone recommend a scope (<100$)? The rifle is mainly for target shooting and small game hunting.

Thanks.

For a $100 you will not do much better than what you have .

If it shoots as good as my 10/22....i would leave the cardboard tube on it

tasco 30mm red dot... 30bucks. my 10/22 shoots 10 shots into a dime at 25yds with one, what more do u need unless u want to shoot out to 100yds then i would opt for a bushnell 4x

if it is just for plinking or hunting find a old bushnell 4x (japan glass)and you cant go wrong with that .

I have a Bushnell 3x9x40mm Trophy XLT on mine, it was $130 at Retail

A cheap $75 Tasco 3-9X40 would also work for you.

X2 for the Tasco suggestion.My Norc JW-25a with said scope accounted for LOTS of gophers last year!! I also like the red-dot idea. I've got a cheapo one on my sons Cooey and it works excellently, m.o.gopher out to 50m no problem.
Cheers!!
PS-As an improvement to what you've got, some satin black would give you the tacti-cool look on your present paper towel roll!!

a little duct tape and it should have good repeatability

I like the scope you have on it right now.... nothing like a good leftover roll end of TP or paper towel. makes for a great scope in a pinch

I've actually removed the scope from my 10/22 and am now looking for a set of those filler screws to put back in it. Would you be willing to send or sell your 4 filler screws when you install your scope?

I'm a fan of the Tasco Varmint scope, 2.5 to 10 power. Its a little large, but have always worked great on rimfires for me. $89.99 at wholesale sports!

get a nikon 2x7x32 shotgun scope beats the tasco by a few miles

You can get a few good 3x9x scopes here in the EEs. $50-100 used Bushnell should be good out to 100. 4x is too skimpy for that distance. Been there tried that many times.

I might be able to dig up my filler screws. They were the only part of my 10/22 that was any good.

That would be much appreciated. Just send me a PM and I'll send you a bit of $.

I think I know what you mean. My 10/22 stovepipe jams like crazy with all but a couple of types of catridges. It's SUPER picky and not what I'd call reliable. I think the new ones are s**t.

Oh...and I get better accuracy out of a daisy pellet gun.

 

[boing-whap]

try painting that tube black to give it a tacticool look. maybe attach a kit kat bar with an elastic band under the barrel to mount a wax candle on.

 

[elimsprint]

Just make sure you get a rimfire scope or one with an AO.
