10 22 scope help

[cundiff5535]

I have a very high end 10 22... I would like to stick to leupold but, its not mandatory...

What would you all recommend for me to run on this thing?

I want a scope that I can shoot from 50 - 150/200 ... I dont want to have a 1500 dollar 10 22 and skip out on the scope. I also dont want to spend a grand on one either.

Suggestions?

I've been extremely happy with this scope:

It's about $110.




I have a couple of them. Great scope for the money IMO.

I'd go with a Weaver or Redfield if you don't necessarily want a Leupold.

Avoid Chinese optics, some of the new high end scopes have optics compenents made elsewhere but assembled in China as well.

I shoot those ranges, just shot a match last Saturday, 30 for 30 6" steel plate, 10 each at 75, 12, 175 yards...

I use this, it was recommended by Sholling (i think that is how it is spelled)

Weaver 6-24X42 Classic V-24 AO Riflescope STT Ballistic-X Reticle Matte
Weaver Scope

Goal is mostly target but also do some plinking... Very rarely do I hunt....

Assuming a 40gr RN bullet leaving the barrel at 1275fps you're looking at 32" of bullet drop at 150yds and 5 feet at 200yds. 5' is a lot of holdover to compensate for.

I like using Weaver's V24 for my best target 10/22s because they offer the best optical and mechanical quality bang for the buck and they focus down to 10yds (officially from 50'). However if you're looking for something a bit more upscale then I'd look at a Bushnell Elite 6-24x40 or 8-32x40.

Gotta listen to sholling on this!

Seconded. Simmons Whitetail. It'll do everything you need it to do for $110.

Weaver V-24 as others have said. If you want to shoot out to 200yds then you will need at least a 20MOA scope base. As Sholling said, the bullet drop at that range is 60" and there are few scopes with enough internal elevation adjustment to zero the scope at 200yds for .22lr ammo, especially higher magnification scopes (16X and above). Another issue is that you don't want to zero the scope in elevation at its maximum adjustment point. I would also recommend the Burris signature zee rings which can use inserts to add another 20MOA of elevation for the scope. Scope, mount, rings and inserts with be around $450. The rings, mount and inserts will work with any 1" diameter tube scope.
