Advice: Should I get this scope?

[JohnP]

I didn't want to post this in the optics section since this question is specifically for my Ruger 10/22. I'm strapped for cash, but I'd like a scope for my 10/22.

Do you all think this is a decent match to a stock Ruger 10/22?

Barska Plinker Scope

I'm not even sure if this will attach since the top of my 10/22 has two bolt holes in it, but I saw in the comments that other people attached it to their 10/22's somehow.

Thanks for your advice Calguns friends.

You probably don't want to go over 4x for .22, if that helps...

Where are you located? I have one, it does just fine but I want to start doing a little competition so I'm gonna upgrade.

yeah, you can leave it down at 3x, personally when im bench shooting i like having my scope zoomed in far. even at 25yrds i shoot at 9x. unsupported i shoot at 3-4x.






the standard rings that come with it arent wide enough to fit a picatinny rail, but they fit the standard scope base that comes with the 10/22, the rings are also high.

i picked up some leupold rings for it which are lower, and do fit a picatinny rail.



if you want the scope PM me. id let it go for $50 shipped with the leupold rings, or $35 shipped with the standard rings.

As a plinker it will do just fine. at 9x it will have a small field of view , but its a variable so you can adjust to current conditions. you will need to find the scope rail that came with your gun new or purchase another. they start at around $10. if you want to save a few bucks and use the rings that come with the scope make shure the mount you use is for 3/8" tip off rings.
