Default Just bought 15-22 scope recommendations?

I bought this gun just for fun and to save money on plinking around vs my Rock River .223
I want to be able to hit an egg at 75-100 yds, I'm thinking either 3-9 power or fixed 6 but I want to stay under $200 and would prefer to stay away from china made and cheap knock-offs. What are your recommendations based on actual experience?

I have no experience and I'm sure someone who does will come in a be more thorough but I can tell you just by trolling the forums over the past week+ that you are likely to get a recommendation of a primary arms 4x scope found here.

On an aside, since so many scope questions are asked maybe it would be good to have a sticky on this issue, no?

I absolutely agree it would make sense to have one.

Well this may or may not be what your wanting but its 3-9 and its under 200 bucks.. and they look good on the rifle..

NCSTAR mkIII tactical rubber armored 3-9x42 with built in laser.. i know a few people other than myself running this optic with no problems... here is a pic of how mine looks and you can go from there

that is a Ncstar ddab kicked over on a 45 in the pic also... the scope is not mounted at an angle im just not good enough to hold the camara, rifle, and aim at the same time... and yes the retical is blue.... and it is a qd setup

I knew the NcStar would make an appearance! However given that he said that he didn't want "China Made" products, doesn't that eliminate the NcStar?

China made will eliminate pretty much everything in that price range.

Since BeltFed over there, can't take a straight photo to save his life, I'll chime in with some of mine.. Or I should say mine are slightly closer to straight!

Belt,

Wasn't trying to be cheeky, I wasn't all that sure that NcStar was made in China. So it was more a sincere question. Cheers!

Seeing the riser... I guess you had the same height issue as I did with the PA?
