Silhouette competition shooting calls for scopes with much higher maginifation than normally prefered for .22's, plus the need target style adjustments for firing and focusing at four different distances. These three Silhouette rifles are, at top: Anschutz MS for Std Class events with high mounted16X Leupold. Center is Anschutz 1700 for Hunter Class with 24X B&L. The colored patches on both are inspection passes from National Silhouette Championships. Bottom is Remington 40-X RF Sporter with 12X Leupold.

Never! Well...I do have one scoped, out of my vast collection of four, but with a small scope, not one that weighs more than the rifle. 
That little scope, something from the 1960's, is as accurate as any of the big giant monstrosities out there. Crazy accurate.

Here's two. My 39A and Marlin 25N with an older, but, still very clear 4x Scopechief. Have a CZ 452 Scout with a 2-5 power scope in the back of the safe. These two were already out.

I do because can't see lol.
I even put a PA 3x micro prism on my AR22 pistol. My M&P 15-22 has a 1-6x PA scope on it

I've considered an lpvo on my rifle, how's that working out for you?

Some with...many without. Most are just sort of playthings for me. All my serious rifles (CF) are scoped.

I'm generally an iron sight kinda guy. Depending on the gun, I will scope one though, a Marlin model 60 for example.
If I happen to be in a time when I have only 1 22 rifle, it almost never will have a scope. Sometimes I'll dabble and add one for load testing or just to mess around with, but always remove it.

The worse my eyes get, the better I appreciate optics, be they red dots or rifle scopes.
25+ yards with a pistol or 40+ yards with a rifle, I want an optic.

I had a Marlin model 60 (with the squirrel on the stock) when I was growing up. The gun shot way to the right for some reason, so I put a cheap scope on it.
Other than that, I really like iron sights.

All of mine have 6x24 or similar scopes.
These were shot today by the Ruger 10/22 in the background. Wind was gusting between 15-20MPH. I was testing shooting with some home made wind flags.
It is now sporting a Magpul Hunter stock

This bottom pair reminds me of a loyal customer I have had for many years. He’s hard on his rifles, and shoots the hell out of them, so I get a Browning SA22 (Belgian made), a Rem 121, and a Win 63 brought in once a year for tune ups. Thorough cleaning, because they’ll be just PACKED with wax, carbon, and lead fouling, and a smattering of battered parts, it’s usually simple stuff - I’ve ended replacing the entire recoil and slide assembly in that only Winchester. What a neat little rifle design. Super fun.

Today I decided to try some glass on my Marlin 2000L. Took the aperture sights off and put a Leupold VX-Freedom™ 3-9x33 EFR on it. Haven’t been to the range yet though.

With the only exceptions of an AK and a Marlin 1894 in .357, all of my rifles are scoped.
They include a .243, a Ruger 10/22, a Marlin .22LR bolt, and another Marlin bolt but in .22 Magnum.
Unfortunately, I don't remember the powers of the scopes with the exception of the .243 and it is a 3-9x. The 10/22 may be a straight 4x but the two bolt action rifles are variables, either 2-7x or 3-9x. I just can't remember at this moment.
