for th[^]e 10/22 target, im assuming a bull barrel set-up. i had a 6x18 on mine and to be honest, it was over-scoped. i would opt for a good quality 3x9 or even a red dot would serve it well. be sure of a good quality red dot if you go that route. the cheaper red dots will work well in low light, the dot spreads across the glass making it diificult to locate the target. i'm sure others will jump in here and offer other suggestions.
4-12x40 seems to be perfect for that rifle. I have a 4-12x40 Trophy made by bushnell on my 10/22 that ran about $190. It does the trick. IF you go with a 3-9 power scope make sure it has a fifty yard parelex setting and not a hundred like most of the 3-9's have.
You didn't say what your use was for your gun. You said it was target model, so if that is all you use it for, over-scoping it really isn't a concern. However, if it'll be used for hunting (except the typically still prarie dogs) then I'd stick with a 3x9 or 4x12 as ohiohog suggested.
I use Simmon's scopes on my cheaper setups, whereas I use Leupold on my more accurate ones. I guess it just depends what you need it for and how much you want to spend.
