Is it better to spend decent money on a 22 scope than cheaping out?

Most of the $50 scopes get mixed reviews. One person says this scope is great for the money another one says it's junk. I see Weaver makes one for just over $100. The $20 Walmart BSAs get reviews that say they change with each shot, lol.

Is it better to spend decent money on a 22 scope than cheaping out?
I have had a $10 Tasco scope on my Marlin 60 for about 25 years


it has never lost zero





The most I have ever spent on a 22 scope is $30 and have never had a problem





And no you don't always get what you pay for





Manufacturers are well aware of the American public's fascination with spending money


Here's an example





The Charles Daly 22 rifle imported from Zastava was considered to be a low grade cheap rifle at $200


But the Remington Model 5 is considered a great gun at $350


They are the same gun


Same goes for the TOZ 22 and the Winchester same gun different prices because too many people are content that they have a better product if they pay too much for it
Reply:IMHO:





You are wasting money if you put a Leupod, or Nikon on a .22LR. There is no significant difference between one of those and a NcStar, until you start subjecting it to severe recoil.





If I were hunting large, dangerous game, I would not scrimp on glass, but my targets are not likely to maul me if I miss once in a while.





I shot a .300 WSM last weekend, with a muzzle brake. It had a NcStar 24x on it. I hit a 1" bull three times in a row with it, @ 100yd. It held zero fine, and did not fall apart. The owner DID have a problem initially. He sheared the screws to the rings! Not the scopes fault!





If you are the vain type, disregard this post.
Reply:It is always better to spend the money on a good scope, the scope makes the gun. Leupold is one of the best makers but if you're looking for price friendly scopes try Nikon, they have several good scopes. Just remember you get what you pay for. I have a Leupold VX-III on my 7mm ultra mag, it is the best scope I've ever had.
Reply:It's not necessary to spend a lot of money on a .22 scope for a rifle that isn't going to be used for competition.





The Weavers are good scopes and a good number of .22 rifle competitors use their T-10 model on their rifles.





Many problems that people have that they blame on the scope are actually traced back to using cheaply made scope mounts rather than the scope itself. (This is the area that you never want to go real cheap)





My Ruger 10/22s all wear Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40mm scopes. They are excellent scopes for .22 rifles and priced under $100. (All of my scopes are silver to more closely match the stainless steel rifles, but they are made in a matte black finish as well for blued rifles)

Reply:the iron sights of my Remington Model 33 .22LR work well enough to hit the 200 yd chicken sillhouette at around 75% accuracy at the Corralitos Range outside of Las Cruces, NM. Don't waste the money on an expensive scope. The $29.95 3-9x40 Walmart special would be just fine, anything more than $50-$75 would be kind of crazy for a .22



Reply:I wouldn't buy a ridiculously expensive scope, but I wouldn't but a cheap one either. For a .22 though, a BSA scope would be fine. It has minimal recoil, and the ammo is cheap enough to go out and fine tune it every once in a while.

Reply:Simmons makes decent scopes for the price. But then again you get what you pay for.
