    "Budget" Rifle Scope - First time buying a scope

    Looking for some recommendations on a decent, inexpensive scope for .22 plinking.

    It does not need to be very powerful just looking to extend my range a little

      Simmons makes some decent scopes for the price, look on eBay for them. They range from about 30$ to 200$

      I would reccomend typing in "Simmons 22 scope"
      I don't drink or Smoke. I spend my money on gunpowder and gasoline.

        Simmons or Bushnell or Weaver
        A 30cal will reach out and touch them. A 50cal will kick their butt.

          I would also check out Nikon. They have a fixed 4x that might do the trick.

              BSA Sweet 22

              There are many scopes of decent quality designed for .22lr.

              SFWA, Optics Planet - check all the usual suspects. Sales are a frequent occurrence.

                Get BSA on sale now at Natchez, about $55. I got the sweet .223 for $54 and it's great.

                      The $30 Bushnell from walmart actually works very well on my 10/22.

                              I just pick up a Nikon fixed 4x for a .22 that is so good, I'm looking to upgrade my other scopes to Nikon.

                              So much for being honest.
