BR and I are in agreement.
Four of the 2x7x32 prostaff scopes
are on four my 22s now.
The nikon prostaff is about
as high end as I will go for a
22 scope.
The price is good.
The scope is good.

I have three Center Point scopes. They have been on .357 magnum and .45acp rifles as well as my rimfires. None have given any trouble. For what they cost they are decent scopes. They come with mounts for a .22 dovetail. flip up lens covers and illuminated reticles. The maker guarantees them, and since I bought them at Walmart I figured I could take them back if I didn't like them (no need).
I like the 4-16 model because it has an adjustable objective. I paid ~$69 at Walmart.

I'm sure most will find this rather old school but I have always been quite satisfied with a Weaver K2.5 on my 10/22.

I put a simmons 6x20 ao on a 17hmr and it works great. For the distances you can shoot at the glass is perfectly adequate. I think it was $80 new.

I don't think you can do any better than the Nikon in this price range. You can certainly do a hell of a lot worse and I would strongly suggest avoiding Tasco, Centerpoint, BSA, Barska, Simmons, cheap Bushnells and anything else comparable.

I too have some CenterPoints and they're OK - but that's a pretty big and heavy scope for a little 10/22
I'd be looking for a 22 scope with parallax set for 50 yds, or an adjustable objective and probably a fair bit lighter as it will not have to deal with real recoil?

I have had three CenterPoint Scopes on everything from a .22 to a .308. I think they are very serviceable scopes if your budget is ~$75 or less. My favorite .22 cal scope at the ~$120 pricepoint is the 4.5-14x40 APV. It has bright glass edge to edge, AO and solid construction.

Nikon +1 from me.
Also look at the Bushnel banner that are a classic for this purpose...

I'll throw the Sightron S1 rimfire in the mix as well even though it's just over $100.

Now that I've got an AO (Simmons .22 Mag) scope on my .22 rifle, I sorta wonder how I lived without it all these years. Some of my shots are very short (10-20 feet) and AO makes it easier to see what I'm shooting at, especially at night.
I Vote for Nikon also. I will be ordering one of each that are on sale at Cabela's soon. I have the 2x7x32 on a 22mag that I love, and need one for a 22 bolt action. I will be putting the 3x9x40 on a new AR my wife has.
A friend and I both purchased a Tasco 3x9x40 from Walmart and both are duds. Can't get either of them to hold zero on our 22LRs.. Won't go that route again. Just my opinon, so please don't take offense. I was hoping that I would have good luck as many people do with Tasco's but such goes my luck..

I also like the Nikon Prostaff!! I have their "shotgun hunter" with 75 yard paralax. Great glass for the price and Cabelas has them for $95 right now.

BSA, Tasco, Centerpoint, NC Star, you get what you pay for....junk ! pay for optics at least what you pay for your firearm or settle for less and live with it.
Yeah, stay away from NC Star. My friend put one of their telescope sized scopes on his 10-22 and it almost isn't useable. It's like looking through a lens coated with tinted mayonnaise. I have a 3-9 Nikon Prostaff on my 308 and I highly recommend it. It is a stout and clear scope especially for the price! The fixed 4x Prostaff is supposed to be a heck of a scope.
