The thing about a good scope is that we tend to keep them after we sell off or trade the current rifle and put it on another rifle.
Which rim fire scope?

The thing about a good scope is that we tend to keep them after we sell off or trade the current rifle and put it on another rifle.
After some research, I'm starting to see this trend. It might be worth a little more investment. Thanks for confirming.
I think I was 9 or 10 when I got my Marlin .22 single shot rifle for Christmas. I still have it!Still shoots good too but I got trained quick by my grandpa about shooting something I'm not going to eat. I shot a black bird out of a tree at about 50yds. He made go find it and had my grandma cook it. I had to eat it for dinner.
Hahahahahahaha. This cracked me up. Thanks for sharing!!!
Understood. Now I got it. Thanks for taking the time to explain!

Simmons Whitetail Classic 1.5-5 x 28mm These go for around £120 new, £75 S/H in the UK so i'd imagine they're well under $80 in the US.
All the scope you need for 50 yards
Do you somehow have a red dot mounted on top of your scope?
The scope mount i used has small picatinny rails above each ring like this;
Quick Release 25.4mm/30mm Dual Ring Cantilever HeavyDuty Scope Mount Picatinny | eBay
I then just put a cheapy mini-red dot on top of the scope. You don't need to spend a fortune on optics for a .22

I agree. Thanks for sending the link. But if I have the scope, it almost defeats the purpose of the red dot, right? Why would I have both?

If you are getting glass, because you are relying on glass to shoot with, then why scrimp?
Personally i think that other than the trigger, the sight options you choose is probably the most important upgrade you can make to any rifle....if you are willing to spend $100 then why not spend a little more and get something better that you are going to be happy with...you don't need to go crazy IOR or Zeiss but the better up the price ladder you go the better glass you are going to get, the better light gathering and reticle and reliability.
For instance if you are willing to spend $100 - then why not go another $50-60 and get a Vortex Crossfire II or Diamondback, which can be had for around $ $120-160 on the bay. You get Vortex quality glass and Vortex warranty and i think everyone on here will vouch for the quality of Vortex optics.
What's that saying....'buy once, cry once'
What's that other saying 'Buy cheap, pay twice'
It's your rifle, it's your call.

Keith, wait till 32icon sees the price point of your Vortex hehe
Don't worry, Vortex's 'budget' line are still better than all the $80 scopes put together.
