Hello all I am looking for a scope for my 15-22. I would like to keep it under 100. This is mainly just for plinking. Just wondering what everyone is running and how they like it. Pictures welcome! Also what scope rings and height should I get?

I have that one and it works great. I swap it out with the UTG 5th Gen Red/Green Dot (DS3840W) using QD mounts and zero is very close each time.

You could also go to WalMart. All of a sudden they have a nice selection of name brand scopes in and above your price range. It would give you a hands on look insted of guessing off the internet. If you did find a better price on the net,you'd already know what it was too.
This is what I picked up. If you want something fun for plinking but with some magnification power to do 50+ yards its perfect. Amazon.com: UTG 3-9x32 Compact CQB Bug Buster AO RGB Scope with Med. Picatinny Rings, 2" Sunshade: Sports & Outdoors

I found my Bushnell Banner works well for under $100. Nothing fancy, but a decent optic. Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32 Rifle Scope Matte Multi-X 711545 Riflescope FREE S&H 711545. Bushnell Rifle Scopes.

CenterPoint Rimfire 3-9x32 Mil-Dot Reticle Rifle Scope - $59.99
I've had this on since October. Couldn't be happier. Currently have it zero'd at 25yds because we are shooting indoors. Before the cold set in, had it set up at 200 yds with surprising accuracy. Mil-Dots are set up for rim fire. The W/E adjustments do not require a screwdriver, which is nice. The illuminated crosshairs is a plus when shooting early morning or late evening ( and indoors )
I've read some reviews where folks bought it not aware it's meant for rimfire and they've installed it on a 'non rimfire' firearm and have had zero issues. If I had to pick out another optic for a high power rifle, this would be my choice.

Look into Barska, they make some nice options - with lighted reticles & say x5-9 power - in the budget scope price range.
