Cheap .22 scope

[Il Duce]

I have a Savage Springfield 187N .22 that I inherited and I am wanting to put a scope on it. What is a good scope? Using it for varmits and paper.

For inexpensive option, hard to beat Bushnell .22 Rimfire 3-9x32. Generally ~ $40 delivered, comes with tip off rings.

Great blend of performance/price, I have two of them.

If you want to go higher end, the sky's about the limit.

The inexpensive 3-5 power Bushnell or Simmons scopes at Dick's or even Wal-mart will work fine. My 552 Speedmaster has a cheapo 3x Simmons and it works fine out to 100 yds.

Just noticed that the thread title said "cheap"

I just did a search, looks like this scope in black or silver has gone UP since I bought my two ... must have been a glut on them for awhile.

Here's about best price, but plus shipping, too:

Bushnell 22 Rimfire Rifle Scope 3-9x 32mm Multi-X Reticle with Rings Matte - MidwayUSA

3x or 4x fixed is fine for minute of squirrel/tin can, but if you want to shoot precisely on those 3" .22 targets at 50 yards like many do (or hit that squirrel's head), that 9x power is pretty much necessary.

Good find -- Amazon was where I bought one of my previously, but was offered by Amazon itself, along with its free (but slow) "super saving shipping".
