Scope for Savage model 24

What would be a good scope and mounts to use on a Savage model 24, 22 over 20 gauge. I would like to use this gun for squirrel hunting. Would an air rifle scope be the best choice to stand up to the abuse from the shotguns recoil and still have a rife type cross hair?
Any suggestions would be great.
Thanks Andy.

The grooves on the top .22 barrel are so narrow that tip-off rings will not work.
If you find something that fits, let us know.

You can buy 1" rings that will work on a 3/8" grooved rail. Burris, Leupold & Weaver make them. There's no "cross bolt" as is found on centerfire rings, hopefully the little "teeth" cut into the clamping device holds the scope in place when using the shotgun barrel.
I think any good centerfire scope will work, hold up to the 20 gauge recoil. You might also take a look at shotgun scopes, some of them have simple reticles that can be used on a rifle. And the parallax on a shotgun scope tends to be set for 75 yds instead of the usual 100 yds for a rifle - that might be better since you're using a 22.
IIRC some shotgun scopes don't have "click" adjustments, which I suppose makes sense. Something to take into consideration, may or may not be an issue for the user.
Have pictures but ain't smart enough to post 'em. Sorry.
