22 scope help

countryfarmer
I need recommendations on a good scope for either one of my Mossberg Bolt actions or my Marlin Bolt. I mostly wil be shooting 22LR and want a good scope but nothing that will break the bank. My last scope is still going strong Bushnell 3x9-32 on my Marlin 60

Found some good prices on Simmons over at Midway and I'll probably check out the auction side before anything.
The one thing I know is stay away from Barska=junk

    I've had great luck with the BSA sweet .22. I think sportsmansguide or cheaper than dirt has them on sale through the end of the year.

    You know this one is good, you got one already.

    When it comes to small caliber and light recoiling cartridges just about any scope with decent glass/guts will work. I've got a 3x9x40 Bushnell banner with the eruo type focus on my Ruger 17HMR and I have been very happy with it. My sisters kid regularly takes out/cleans up quarter size chunks of skeet on the 100yd berm with it.....

    At the suggestion of others on this board when I asked the very same question about 5 years ago, I have a fixed 4x Simmons "22 MAG" scope on my Remington .22.

    Awesome?. . .no. . .but designed for .22s, plenty good enough, and it comes with rimfire mountable rings, which is a nice plus.

    I think I paid $30 for mine on sale then, but they probably run about $50 now.

    You could do the 3-9x version, though I think 9x is a little bit of overkill for most .22 shooting.

    Try Mueller or Pentax - neither is very expensive and each has very good glass.

    I've also had good luck with the BSA Sweet .22 that I mounted on a CZ 22 Varmint. I bought mine at Dick's for about forty bucks.

    I will side with bpost. I like crisp optics on all my rifles, despite the caliber in which they are chambered for. Don't think for one minute that a 22LR is not capable of bring home some of the same bacon that a 30-30, or 30-06 would...especially with a good scope.
