Well I too needed help with scope, rings, and bases for my Ruger 10/22. Based on what I read I just purchased the Simmons 511072 3-9x32mm 22 Mag Series Riflescope and Leapers Accushot Premium Airgun/.22 Full Length Integral Medium - RGPM2PA-25M4. Do you think this was a good choice?
Thanks,

Maybe I need to take a remedial math course but that doesn't add up.A Kidd Innovations Custom built 10/22 Super Receiver w/ Thredded Bull Barrel, McMillan Thumb Hole stock (adjustable pull and comb), and a Leupold 4X16 VX II Scope. Cost around $3,000.00. You got to really want to kill a squirrel really bad.
Congratulations because MOA at 200-300yds is unheard of. There are folks who shoot competition at those ranges who'd love to know they could shoot twice as good with a $300 rifle. Sorry but this is not a realistic claim.In fact, I am able to maintain this level of accuracy to 200 and sometimes 300 yards when conditions allow. I have a CZ452 Trainer with a SWFA 16x42 on top.
I disagree with this. Every cheap scope I had give up the ghost did so on a rimfire. Our .22's are the rifles we shoot the most and they deserve good glass. Cheapest I'll go are the rimfire models from Weaver and Nikon. Leupold is preferred. Parallax can also be a real issue with big centerfire variables at shorter ranges.Since 22's don't have to deal with a lot of recoil and aren't usually hunted in harsher conditions one of the cheaper budget scopes will usually be more acceptable than I'd use on a big game rifle.
I have a marlin 39A lever-action that is the quietest .22 LR I have. It also fires/ejects all types of .22 LR (CB Long, Short, Long, and LR). CB Longs are great for around the house, but CB shorts are not very accurate IMHO. Look for a long-barreled rifle for quietness. Peak velocity in a .22LR is about 16", so barrels that are 24" or more are pretty quiet.
