I put a cheap Tasco scope (3x9 IIRC) on my S&W M&P AR15 5.56mm MOE. I had to use a 1" riser and see-through rings to lift it above my irons. I'm not a bad shot and can get some pretty tight groupings (around 2" or less) at 100 yards down the range. It does what I need to and holds its zero well even on a 5.56 so it should hold up at least as well on the .22 M&P. They cost around $30-40 at Walmart. You could spend more but for plinking, I don't see why you'd need to...?
