My wife has agreed to go to Appleseed with me IF she can use the 22lr AR and IF she can use a scope. The AR is a CMMG dedicate 22LR upper, flat top receiver with A2 front sight. What optic can I put on here that will play well with the front sight and have a SIMPLE cross hair reticle. The distance is 25 yards but the targets are reduced to represent 100, 200, 250, 300, and 400. Cost is an issue as is quality. This optic will go on the AR22 and never come off so I don't need to buy another "battle proven" optic. I have Aimpoint PROs on two carbines and she would like some magnification. I also have 1-4 GRSC, she says the reticle is way too busy for her, (asked for simple cross hairs) and she would like a little more 4x.
I see several 3x9 scopes but not sure if they will work. Thank you all for taking time to help out.
