Scoping a 10/22 Take-down?

Mine seems to hold zero. There's a adjustment on the barrel to keep the fitment tight.

just watch out when you put loctite when you put on the rail. The screw holes are all the way through to the receiver. I locked the bolt when the loctite got on the bolt. It was a bugger to get apart and to clean it all out. But mine does hold zero with no problem

I mounted a Leupold fixed 4x rimfire scope to the receiver rail on my 10/22 Takedown. Every single time I put the rifle back together, the zero is imperceptibly unchanged.

Mine holds zero now but only after I made the adjustment noted.

This is good advice with regard to applying Loctite.

For my Takedown, I installed a UTG 3-9X32 1" BugBuster Scope (AO, RGB Mil-dot, QD Rings) mounted on a UTG Tactical Low Profile Rail. This rig allows me to leave the scope mounted when the rifle is placed in the Ruger supplied storage bag. FWIW, I've verified that if I do remove/reinstall the scope using the QD rings, the rifle still maintains zero.

My brother in law has one with a red dot of some sort on it. From what I can tell it holds zero. That being said Ive never shot it past 50 yards and the red dot isnt the best tool to determine zero shift.

Yes they hold zero. I have the Nikon 4x rimfire on mine. I shot a two day Appleseed course. Took the rifle apart after day 1, cleaned it that night, snapped it back together on day 2, and didn’t adjust the scope at all. I earned my rifleman patch on day 2.

Same experience as others, no drift in zero. Bought one for my son, added QD rings and a Nikon 2-7X on an EGW rail. The rail was marked by me for the scope and a Vortex SPARC red dot and both fit fine in the supplied pack.

While it's a fun rifle with all the available penny whistles and gobstoppers to add on I'm set on a Marlin Papoose for my next rimfire.

My 10/22 TD has a Picatinny rail mounted on the receiver. I then have a 2x7 Weaver rimfire scope in Warne QD mounts. It seems to hold zero pretty well. I also put irons on it in the form of a Skinner barrel mounted aperture with a serrated ramp front. It makes it easy to take down and I can easily use scope or iron sights.
