I just recently got a Ruger 10/22 that has a scope on it, but I would like a better one. I was hoping maybe you guys couild recommend one for me. Preferrably one less than 75 bucks. I'm not looking for any one in paricular. Maybe one that is raised so I could use the normal sights as well as the scope. Or one with a good zoom. Thanks for your help. Right now the scope that's on it is a Tasco. I'm not sure what the power of it is though.

Or a nice strait 4 power redfield.[^]
I have a Nikon Prostaff scope on my 10/22. I'd have to hunt around for the box to tell you what power it is, but the field of view is sharp and bright. I believe I paid $90 at a high retail gun store.
Tasco for $ .01 Oh wait you already have one of those[:p]
Guess that one isn't "badass" enough huh? Personally, if the one that's on it works, I wouldn't change it. I also wouldn't use those raised rings. Either use the scope, or take it off and shoot iron sights.
I'd suspect it would too on your Ruger.
and I forget what's on the other one.
The third is just plain ole iron sights.
Finally picked up a new Simmons 3x9x32 22MAG with A/O(100yds) for about $60 at the gun show Saturday.So far,I think I'm gonna like it.
Got it dialed in Sunday(windy as hell)and am now at "minute of crow" at 50 yds(elevation perfect,windage spread about 1 1/2").I know it'll do better than that on a still day.[;)]

Mount your scope as low to the bore as you can possibly get it, and you'll be happy with it.
The 22 scope have the parralax adjusted to suit the 22's range unlike a regular rifle scope..
Save your money for a lot of years and then use a high powered Nightforce on it, it will make people act crazy [:D]
Jeez, what is that about? See-thru's are great unless you actually want to shoot with your rifle.
see-thru rings are for suckers!
There is no free lunch. You can't have your cake and eat it too. And you cant properly mount a scope directly over the bore as close to the bore as possible and at the same time be able to clearly see the iron sights. Something has to be compromised if you want to try and have both.
You can mount the scope off to the side or on stilted rings, but you probably wont be getting the best performance out of the scope/rifle combination. If you can't get the best performance out of your scope, you might as well stick with iron sights.

Either a wideview, variable power, or, a 3-9x50 or 4-12x50.
I believe Midway had Simmons 3-9x50 on sale for $29.....
Have a 3-9 matte in low rings on mine and my wifes 10/22 and they are nice little squirrel and gopher getters.
Bigger, to a certain degree is better.
