As with most things, I'm looking for a good value, not the best quality nor the cheapest scope.

What's a good one in your experience?
 
That brings up a good point. Do they have to be "rimfire" scopes? If so why? The one I had back when I was a kid was a cheap Bushnell 3x9 that worked well, but I don't know if it was a "rimfire" scope or not.

While looking at Academy sports tonight, I didn't see any that jumped out at me as 22 cal scopes for a 10/22.
 
A rimfire scope with a fixed objective will have the parrallax set at a closer distance. That is what you want if thebest accuracy at or about that distance is important.
 
BSA = Best Stay Away.
Unless you spend top dollar for one of the high end ones.

I went through three of them trying to get one $40 air rifle scope that worked on a $30 dollar air rifle.

The forth go-around, I bought a Bushnell for around $90 bucks, and it is still working perfectly 5 years later on a $400 air rifle.

The BSA scopes cost me more then that in gas money returning them to Cabala's.

That's a resounding thumbs down. I was recommended a $150 Nikon or for 1/3 the price the BSA at the local Academy sports

I know I'm gonna get ripped for this, but I bought a NCStar 2732G tactical scope. It has a variable magnification from 2-7x, a 32mm objective, illuminated mil-dot/range finding crosshairs, 3" eye relief and a quick disconnect feature.

I've had this on my 10/22 marauder for about a month, and I've already put about 600+ rounds downfield and it's still holding zero. A nice feature is the QD (quick disconnect) picatinny mount. I've removed the scope off the rifle twice, and only had to re-zero the windage once (3 clicks left, or about 1" @ 50yds).

For the price (i got mine for $80), I think it's a very nice scope.
 
You need something with an adjustable objective dow to at least 25 yards. Most will go down to 10 for a good rimfire scope. Look at Mueller and Vortex they are both excellent middle of the road 22 scopes and won't break the bank. I have the Mueller APV on my 10/22 and love it. It will cost you around $130
