Looking to find a decent, lower priced scope to put on my 10/22.  Can you show me what you got, how you like it, and if possible, post a pic?  

Thanks

OK, I'll bite. I have a 3-9X32 matte Simmons. It is my primary squirrel shooter. Works pretty good for me......

Last 10/22 I had (my brothers, now) had a Leupold VariX-II 3-9x40. Thats the cheapest scope I would use on anything. It cost more than the rifle (which is how it should be). $180 new, coulda got it cheaper used.

used to have simmons 3-9x32 .22 mag.  it came with the rifle when i bought it.  worked ok...had to adjust it every so often, but when adjusted would shoot half dollar size groups all day long at 50 yd.
just replaced it with an ultradot microdot 3-7x32.  this is an awesome scope!  combines reddot with traditional crosshair scope.  they are not easy to find (i got mine on ebay for and incredibly low $64--$240 msrp).  if you look around you can find one...well made japanese scope.

At top is a stock 10/22 International with a Simmons 4X, it is just too pretty to change it.

Middle rifle has a Simmons ATV 4.6X14x40 - AO, Corelite stock and Green Mountain Bull barrel, soon to be supressed. I love these ATV scopes and have a couple others.

Bottom rifle has a Redfield Tracker 4x16x44 - AO, Green Mountain fluted barrel with custom flash hider, Boyd's Blaster stock and other modifications. Of the three this is my favorite and is as accurate as any rifle I have ever owned.

Pistol is a Mark II 22/45 with a Red Dot, very accurate also.

Tasco 6-24x42mm target/varmint



The turrets have a set screw on them, so you can zero it...and then reset the knob to 0.  
This way you can crank up the elevation if you want to shoot further, or with different loads.
Then you can simply turn the knob back to 0 and you're dead on where you had it zeroed with originally.




It has a tru Mil-Dot reticle, which is great if you have it zeroed at say 50 yards...and you want to pop some clays or w/e @ 100 yards...just use the 3rd or 4th dot down.  It's faster than having to unscrew the turret cover.    

Adjustable objective is a very nice feature to have...

I paid $80 for it @ cabelas.  Not the best of brands...but it works great for me!  

Weaver rings and t-09 base.  FYI:  The Weaver brand rings fit very nice and solid into the weaver bases.  I've had other brands rings on this base, and they were much looser in the cross-slot area.

This is a neat little scope I got years ago from Burris. Its a fixed 6X airgun scope with paralax adjustment and is unreal accurate. I may replace it soon with a Leupold EFR 3x9 Rimfire scope i got a heck of a deal on. But I hate to, it works so good, I may mount the Leupold on the blue version of this rifle I have... it now has a fixed 4X Leupold on it.

I've got the same cheapazz setup if that's a Tasco 4x32 like it looks like.

Zeroed at 50 yds so it hits quarter-sized targets from 17 to 61 yds without having to hold either high or low.

I don't know what you consider low cost but for me it is my Swift Premier 669MA Target Scope.  6-18x44 AO.  The objective can be adjusted from 10 yards to infinity.  It also has target turrets for fast on-the-fly adjustments.  The total cost shipped was $200.

you guys kill me with the hi-power scope on a 22 the whole idea is to have a lightweight, decent glass, GOOD rings (no cheapies) and a accurate barrel.

svi40 is a really nice example of a perfect 10/22

The scope I use is Burris FullField II 3x9 ballistic plex with weigand base and rings.

No pics, but my plain old Ruger 10/22 has a "Pine Ridge" (Cabela's brand) 4X scope on it.  I don't normally buy off brand scopes, but this one was the only reasonably priced rimfire scope with a fine reticle that I could find.  I hate a big fat crosshair on a .22 scope and so far this one has worked well.  IIRC it was about 40-50 bucks.

When shooting off of the bench the more weight the better.  Mine has a "hi-power" scope on it and it still comes in around 6lbs.  That's pretty lightweight if you ask me.  Any lighter and the thing just won't point naturally.

your from MT what the hell are you doing shooting off the bench, lol. My rig under 5lbs, I tend to pack two weapon when I go blasting so a light 22 is usefull to me.

Mine is set up for bench work and field work.  I just wanted to make my 10/22 as accurate and capable as possible but still have a setup that was compact and relatively light.  Thats why I went with a GM 18" fluted barrel in a B&C composite stock.  The rifle retains the length of the stock carbine and is only slightly more heavy.  The scope isn't that much heavier than a "less capable" one is.  The thing weighs a lot less than my m4gery and I consider that to be fairly light.

Thanks for the kind words V-Rod.

I have been extremely pleased with the whole setup. I now shoot this thing more than any other gun I have except my carry gun.

It's a hair over 5lbs without the suppressor (according to a bathroom scale, probably not the most accurate reading). The suppressor adds 5 or 6 ounces but it is in just the right place, the gun points beautifully with the can on. I was going to replace the scope and rings with something a bit more compact and lighter but this setup works so well for me that I've decided to leave it be.
