I'm looking for a reliable, lightweight, inexpensive scope for a .22 rimfire. Since this won't be used for hunting in low light, I'm not especially concerned about fully multi-coated lenses. 4X would be more than enough magnification and I wouldn't be opposed to a 2x. I'm mainly interested in durability.
Thanks!

I've had good luck with a couple of Weaver 22 Rimfire scopes that run around $120.
Have not used any others, and some guys might come along and recommend what they use.

Ditto the above. The Weaver 2-7X Rimfire scope is a fine, fine piece.

Try Natchez, they have the weaver 4x32 shotgun on special. The parallax setting of the scope should be OK for .22 rimfire

I put standard 1" scopes on my rimfires.

The Weaver 4x in either R4 rimfire version or 4x shotgun version is a fine choice. Reliable, and it does have good glass with fully multicoated optics.

Jorge,

I just bought one of those scopes and it's still in the box, unmounted. It's waiting for the snow to go....
The Weaver scopes I mentioned above are the 2-7x scopes. Forgot to mention that.

Ditto. Great scope for $80. Lou

I have bought 4 and 6 power Leupold scopes on e-bay, sent them back to Leupold and had them re-regulated for 50 yards and been very satisfied. This whole process usually winds up costing me about $125 per scope and they are super!

Wallmart has the Nikon 4x rimfire for $99.00.

Have you thought about a red dot, they are a lot of fun on a 22, we have one on our 10/22 and have a ball hunting snowshoes & grouse,
