I am planning on scoping my child's Rascal, and I thought that using some see-through rings would be good, since that way the irons could still be used. I understand that the cheek weld will suffer somewhat because of this.

I was looking at the different options under Weaver style, 1" rings, and I'm not sure which one to order. It looks like the Weaver brand are popular.

Any recommendations?

Thanks!

It won't suffer somewhat, it will suffer severely, especially if it is for a child. My recommendation is to either use the iron sights, properly mount a scope, or use the Weaver tip-off base so you can flip the scope out of the way to use iron sights - not sure if they make anything for the .22 rails though.

I don't think I've ever seen see-through rings for rimfire rails. Seriously, causing the kid parallax problems, by making it impossible to get a good cheek weld is going to be a pain. Just a guess, but this gun is probably going to get a pretty cheap scope too, which will make the parallax problem even worse.

They make them.

But it is still a bad idea!

Teach the kid to shoot iron sights, and he can shoot anything.

Or teach him to shoot with a scope and he can't.

Not to mention saddling him with the inherent cheekweld problems of see-through rings, changing trajectorys between the low irons and high scope, etc..

My thoughts exactly. Teach them sight alignment, breath and trigger control with irons. Going to anything else after that is incredibly simple and the positive habits and skills developed transfer directly.
