what scope is just right for a .22 need help quick

[sportsmaster]

I have recently purchased a .22 sportsmaster and was wondering what type of scope would be apropriate. I plan on hunting rabits and varmits with this rifle. Thanks for any help you can give me i am new at this so any advice would help.

I use a 3x9 Simmons or Bushnell for rimfire shooting. With a .22 you don't need to worry about recoil jarring things loose inside and it is very economical to sight-in before a day's shooting. Most .22 varmint hunting is short range, less than 30 yards.

So a cheap scope is OK unless you drop the rifle.

[sportsmaster]

thanks meekandmild i will look into that scope.

Just make sure it has an adjustable objective so you can focus for close shots.

Highly recommend a 2X7X28 Leupold rimfire.

3-9 x 40 would be great

for a lesser budget any 4 x 32 would work fine for your needs.

Try ebay for a 4 x 32 under 30 bucks.

Just to let everyone know i have about a $50 dollar budget thanks.

Simmons 3x9-32, cant beat the scope or price for a .22

If it just for a knock around gun I would recommend a Simmons 22 Mag 3-9x40 scope. They are around 40-45 dollars.

On hunting & general use rimfires, I have:

-Multiple Bushnell Banner 1-4x32mm and 1.5-4.5x32mms (.22 lrs)
-Weaver Classic K fixed 4x (.22lr)
-Trijicon Accupoint 1.25-4x24mm (.22lr)

On target rimfires, I have:
-Multiple Bushnell Banner 4-12x40mm with AO (.22 mag & .22 lr)
-Swift Premier 4-12x40mm AO (.22 lr)
-Bushnell Scopechief 6-20x40mm AO (.17 HMR)

I like being able to dial down to 1x (or have an AO) to eliminate parallax. I dig the circle-x reticle in some of the Bushnell Banner line scopes.

But I think on your budget, you'd get the best scope for your money looking for a fixed 4 power.

Wow! firstfreedom sounds like you have alot of guns. I love what you write and I value what you say. The reason why my budget is so low is i just don't want to spend more on a scope then I do on my gun, however I plan on fixing my gun up and making it look like a million dollars so I might spend a little bit more than fifty bucks. Thankyou all for chiming in I will be going to a local gun store and I hope I will make the right decision.

Well i went with topspin's advice i got a simmons 3-9x40 for $30.00 it was on sale and they are normally $50.00 or at least that is what they said.
I have not yet tested it out because I took my gun apart and sanded it down to get all of the dings out I just got done putting a coat of oil on it and in a couple of days my gun will look like new. Thanks for all the info.

Sounds good, but which Simmons did you get? The 22 mag, Pro Hunter, what? In any event, it should work well.
