Scope for Ruger 10/22

[bannockburn]

I have been using an old Weaver K2.5 scope on my 10/22 with great results for over thirty years.

A 4x rimfire scope is a very good choice for a 10/22. I have a 4x on my stock 10/22. I like the Weaver 4x rimfire or the Weaver 2.5-7x rimfire for general shooting.

What distance do you intend to shoot mostly, and what is your budget?
This will decide what scope/optic to go with. Don't just buy an optic based on looks or specs; buy one that will suit your type of shooting.

A basic low-power scope should do just fine. Maybe a 1-4x or 3-9x. No need for anything higher than 9x magnification until you know how to shoot and how to properly shoot long distance.

For example, I started on a basic Red dot with no magnification on my 10/22 before moving to a Bushnell 3-9x scope.

Ive put 3X9 scopes on mine and shoot tite groups with them at the 100 yard backstop.

Scope on a Ruger

I put a 3 x 9 Bushnell on it. Weight is insignificant. Not a real duty scope like a Leupold, but the gun just sits by the window waiting for fat little ground hogs trying to make life miserable for one very old horse.
