My advice based on almost 50yrs of shooting is avoid the junk and pick up a decent scope. Starting with the basics I always avoid ATN, Barska, BSA, NcStar, and most Simmons and Tasco products. Second you'll want to go with a scope designed for a rimfire rifle and not a centerfire rifle.
The best bang for a quality scope is the Weaver RV7. Reviews. It's a good quality scope optimized for rimfire rifles. That's decent scope that will last you a lifetime. Another good option is a Sightron S1 3-9x32 rimfire.

I agree with scholling on the Weaver scope. They are a good value for the money, and 2-7X is just about perfect. I own several Leupold rimfire scopes in 2-7X, and I prefer that magnification range for close up to far away work.
