I just bought a random Savage Mark2 plinker the other day and don't want to throw a NF on it. Unfortunately, I don't know much about cheap scopes since I normally pay the big bucks. I was wondering if anyone can recommend something in the $150 or below range that is the best bang for the buck. I would like some magnification adjustment and a obj bell no bigger than 40. It's just a plinker so I don't need anything crazy on it. Thanks in advance!

Take a look at the Nikon Prostaff Rimfire. The parallax is set to 50 yards on this model. I have used this model on a few semi-auto and bolt .22s with great success!

I second the Nikon idea: great scopes for the money

+1 on the Nikon, the new 3-9x40 with the BDC150 reticle is a sweet setup right at that $150 mark

I've got several Bushnells Elite 3200 on my .22's and like them - good scopes for the buck.

Nikons new EFR scope is coming out in a few weeks. I like that since I do alot of shooting at 50ft and not many others can focus that close. My Leupold does but cost $750 for the 6.5x20. Id love Nikon to come out with some target 22 scopes that have dots and higher power.

Re: What's a good rimfire scope?
I purchased a Swift preimer scope to try it out one day because the optics were very clear. I mounted it on my Ruger 77/22. It is a 3-9x40. The scope has been a true winner. It tracks perfect everytime and the gun shoots true with it. I shoot black birds with bulk ammo out to 100 yards. I own several Leupold mark 4 scopes as well as burris xtr's and this one is my rimfire choice. I have since purchased 4 more for a total of 5. I would like to hear if anyone else has any feedback on them? I found a place online they can be purchased for very reasonable as well. I also like the higher end vortex rimfire scopes. Not the crossfires.

If you want something thats mil mil, the bushnell 10x or the weaver 3-10 grand slam are good choices.

The Mueller APT is a great scope for the money. They rarely show up for sale used, and when they do, they usually for about $25 less than a new scope.

Re: What's a good rimfire scope?
If you what to shoot close up the Bushnell will focus to 10yds. If that is not an issue the Vortex PST are great scopes also.

Re: What's a good rimfire scope?
Doh! Wish I saw these replies sooner. I bought a Bushnell 3.5-10x from Optics planet that seems to have great review for $90. Wish I saw the deal for the vortex that someone posted above. But I'm sure I'll be perfectly happy with my purchase since the scope has great reviews! Thanks everyone!
