good scope for remington 597

[spenceyadigg]

Just bought my first rifle, a remington 597. Looking to buy a good but cheap scope for it under $100. What do you guys recommend?

Saw this one on amazon and it got good reviews. I am new to this so I don't know anything about scopes. Any information is helpful.

i have the Primary Arms 4-16X44 Illuminated Mil Dot Scope, its a little more than you want to pay but i can tell you its worth every penny at $160. i bought mine when it wasn't on sale for about 200 and absolutely love it. right now it sits on top of my 10/22. it has positive clicks and very clear crisp glass. heres the link.

awesome scope, guys

check out the bsa sweet .22 scope, it comes with 3 different drums for different bullet weights (36gr, 38gr, and 40gr) so you can calculate the bullet drop past 50 yards. comes with a lifetime warranty too! only complaint about it is the crosshairs are kind of thick.

I don't recommend anything under $100 but the Weaver Classic 2.5-7x28 Rimfire (review, review) is a great little scope that unlike the cheapies should last you a lifetime and can be had for $130. If you want a bit more power a Sightron S1 3-9x32 Rimfire is another excellent $130 scope that should last you a lifetime. I highly recommend that you pony up the extra $30.

Chuck Hawk's Scope Ranking, FWIW I'd put BSA's product line in the one-Star class and NcStar in the zero-star class.

i am really happy with my mueller APV, but i think that is slightly above your price limit. i also have a bushnell banner, it is super clear and well priced.

I put a BSA Sweet 22 3-9 on my Henry Pump rifle...very nice out to 150 yards easily
Mounted with a one piece ring base that fits the receiver dovetail

My wife has this scope on her Rem 597... excellent value. Nice and steady, built well, cheap enough and decent warranty. BTW her 597 is the bull-barrel model with the sweet wood stock- one of the most beautiful and reliable .22s I have ever shot

The Simmons .22 mag scope is the undisputed best buys for a under $50 scope. Some however dont like the rings that come with it and admittedly they are kinda cheapie.

I use that scope on one of my .22's with this set of rings and they hold rock solid. http://www.amazon.com/UTG-Airgun-Med...=cm_cr_pr_pb_t

Scope and better rings in your hands for under $75 is a great little .22 combo.

[spenceyadigg]

thanks for the suggestion on the rings. sound like a good idea to me. ill be ordering some later today.

Those are the same rings I used with the Sweet 22 3-9 on my Henry pump. I wish someone would make a Weaver/Picatinny rail that would fit directly on my vintage Savage rifles Weaver sidemounts and Weaver N mounts limit your choices
