Picked up a new Ruger American Rimfire compact with threaded barrel this past friday.  $280 out the door at a new gun/pawn shop that just opened locally.

I'm looking for some scope suggestions for less than $200.

Is the Nikon P-22 a pretty good budget scope?  How bout the P-223 in case I want to move it over to my AR?

I'm wondering the same thing!  I have a Redfield Battlezone 3-9x42 and love the tac-moa reticle. It's hard to rationalize glass that costs more than the rifle though, especially for a rimfire plinker.  Anyone have experience with some of the other offerings?  I am especially concerned with having a fine reticle

Well, I put a Simmons .22 Mag scope on mine. Two things I liked about it are:

1. It was cheap. $59, and they had a $30 rebate offer at the time, net-net I paid only 30 bucks for it.

2. It is an AO scope, which I think is important for a .22, which is generally shot at no more than 50 yards but can also be used at longer distances.

I'm quite happy with it.

Used a BSA Sweet 22. Still haven't shot the rifle.

I also bought this scope for the same reasons. I'm very pleased with it, especially for the price.

I have a Redfield Revenge I got from Midway:

They are in a set of Warne dovetail amounts I had sitting around. I was going to go 2-7 since I think 3x on anything under 50yds is a bit much and May go that way later but this scope is excellent for now.
