10/22 with iron sights right now.
Walking public land for rabbits and squirrels. Traditional scope? Red dot? Traditionally several standing shots at moving rabbits. What do I need? |

When I used to use my 22, I went with a variable rimfire scope for versatility since a red dot can be quite limited to range however, I never took any moving shots. Nowadays, I just use a shotgun loaded with high brass birdshot which I find much easier to track if the squirrels start running.

Don't take my word for it but I've actually heard good things about the bugbuster scope for a .22 LR.
https://www.amazon.com/UTG-3-9X32-BugBuster-Scope-Mil-dot/dp/B005UGIMNQ But there's the Leupold option too. https://www.amazon.com/Leupold-MOA-VX-Freedom-1-5-4x20mm-Riflescope/dp/B08QSMV9HT Or middle of the road Vortex also. Vortex rimfire |

I like my TCR22 (10/22 clone type), with the VX-freedom 1.5-4x.
Had it for two years now. Holds zero, takes adjustment for ammo change, clear and bright. Turrets could have stiffer clicks. |

I've always just used a shotgun for rabbit and squirrel. BUT, if I were going to use a rimfire I'd get a traditional scope over a red dot and limit my shots to stationary targets.
A variable power scope will let target head shots but will be hard to use on running shots. Most rabbits seem to only run a little way if you flush them. |
