Does it really matter to mount a rimfire scope on a 22 compared to a "regular" scope?

What makes a scope a rimfire scope?

 

Any suggestions?

I have a few Walmart specials on rimfires and they all work fine for their purpose. Thye are clear, accurate and used out to 100 yds with no problems.

I was gonna lok at a BSA optics scope, they were rated pretty well in some reviews, and are in the $30-60 range for the low end, IIRC. Plus I can pose with my BSA scope on my old British bike

matty I get the reference.

 

I am looking at the Bushnell rimfire line for $35. I have a few of their scopes and they are top quality.

I need one for my GSG-5

Didn't you just say you were selling that?

Hands down the best rimfire scope for the money is the Mueller APV. Less then $150.00, clear optics and variable power.

I just set up a Bushnell rimfire scope on a 10/22 I'm selling to a client this eek. Nice scope for the $.

So what about scope rings? Any comments/sugestions/sources? I did finally get to shoot my new 10/22 last nite at BA, using bench rest and sitting was able to get decent groups after fiddling with sight picture for awhile. My eyes are going from age, probaby should have worn the glasses instead of contacts but was in a rush as usual. That little brass front sight is easy to lose. Anyway, the first upgrade will be a scope, of the WM price range for now, but was thinking of see-thru rings so the sights can still be used. Anyone have these vs. the low type of rings?

I am not a fan of see through sights. It does not give you a consistent cheek weld to the stock. Any time I have bought a used rifle with them on it is the first thing I change.

I have the same scope and it works extremly well. =)
