Weaver 2-7x32 rimfire scope. The Weavers are made in Japan, not China. It's a rimfire scope, so parallax will be set at 50 yards,not 100. The price is $119. Not dirt cheap, but not outrageous, either.
I am not, nor do I pretend to be an optics expert. However, it never ceases to amaze me when someone asks for a decent scope that people start coming out of the woodwork trying to convince you that you'll never hit anything if you don't have a Swarovski or a Leupold. Then, there are the guys who will tell you that a $19 BSA will do anything that said Leupold/Swarovski will do.
Simmons makes plenty of scopes that will be perfectly ok for your .22. So do Tasco and Bushnell. You can step up the price some and get better quality with the Weaver. At some point, though, you get into the whole "diminishing returns" thing. At some point, doubling the price you pay does not double the quality. Paying five times as much for a Ferrari vs. a Corvette does not get you five times the car. You might be getting a 10%-20% improvement.
As with anything you buy, you can pretty much break scopes down into 4 categories. Cheap crap, good enough, quality, and pure vanity. It's usually the middle two that are the hardest to sort out.
