Price and Scope for 15-22

[scaredstr8]

Hi. I just got my 15-22 for 499 plus tax total 543. It is a NY compliant version the same exact gun but a pinned stock and a 10 round mag in NY. DID I PAY TO MUCH?
Second i need a nice scope i really want one with a laser or maybe a red dot one. ANY SUGGESTIONS.
Thanks
Anthony

What you paid is a little high IMO. But that really depends on the availability in your area. $499 is the suggested retail. I've seen some go for as little as $399, but most seem to be in the $425 - $470 range. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

yea its NY and most places dont have them not to mention i waited 2 months for this gun and really dont care about the price i was just wondering. Also i didnt ask the guy for a deal but i prob could have. If the suggested msrp is 499 what do u think the dealer is making

Don't feel bad, I paid the same price for my gun here in NC only because I wanted one for Christmas and everyone was running out of them.. Even though a buddy of mine got his at a gun show for $405 the next week.

As far as a scope, I too am currently looking for a good Varmint scope.. Something in the 3-9X-40 or so range.

The BSA Sweet 22 Scope looks good, but I don't really know anything about them, Kinda Pricey though..

If you have as much fun with the rifle as I do then you got a bargain.

Walmart.com: CenterPoint 4-16x40mm Scope: Optics

I got one of these from Walmart and absolutely love it.

Saw that exact scope tonight at Walmart and drooled over it.. I will probably end up getting it, doesn't look bad at all for $70!

i got a step down model of the Centerpoint 4-16x40, but it looks good and smaller, so it won't look awkward on the gun.

I decided to get the high powered one simply because I didn't have any extra scope rings laying around the house. The lower powered one came with dovetail rings and I had no use for those.

Both suprisingly good scopes for the money. I have read that it is a good idea to get better rings for them.

Your price was close to Maryland prices! I paid $489.00 plus tax.

Primary Arms.com has some knock off red dots which are getting good reviews on AR15.com.

I put a Primary Arms M4 Style Red Dot on mine. It cost $89.00 plus shipping. Have been very satisfied with the scope, seems to be very solid. Easy to mount and zero in.

Primary Arms 4X Compact

Ordered over weekend. Arrived today (Wed). I had heard Primary Arms is quick shipping-- it's true.

Finish: Not all that impressed. Body housing has kind of cast imperfect finish.

Fit: Sits low. Only about .5 inch above rail. Difficult for me to get low enough to properly see thru. Maybe a YHM .5 inch riser would be the way to go.

It has three rail thingies Not sure what good they are... but they're removable.

Works: The reticle is very fine (kinda like some of the ACOGs). The reticle has no detectable cant. When illuminated, the reticle stays sharp and fine. The focus ring works great. There is no distortion that I can detect. The scope is clear and light is on par with most cheap optics, maybe a little better than some.

For those with Sig522... the scope height is absolutely perfect (for me anyway) with Sig's lowered stock position. That's where this scope is going.

I took some pics. I found it near impossible to get my camera on the reticle but I got one shot... kinda sorta.

hey phil i know how you like to stack it on then take a pic or two so how about adding your other optics to the side or top of that scope

 

[Brett248Vista]

Dude! If I had that scope I'd bolt my carry handles to each side of it, and put another scope on top! Like a "Long range scope" and a "short range scope"

LOL!

Didn't you once post a funny pic similar to that?

 

[Brett248Vista]

guilty as charged!

There's an idea. Maybe I'll put my SightMark holosight on the top rail. I'll hopelessly keep cranking on the elevation adjustment until the hex nut strips. (Just teasing Brett248.)
