Opinions on best scope for a Ruger 10/22 under $100.00. Goal of plinking maybe squirrels. Considerations on clarity, fixed or variable, reputation, durability etc.
Thanks,

I hear that the centerpoint scopes sold at Walmart are not that bad at all. I looked through one at another store and for $79.00 it was not that bad. For your goals this would be suitable.
X2....the only negative I can say about the Simmons is that the scope rings that come with it need to be replaced. I went with these...https://www.amazon.com/Leapers-Accushot-Mount-Dovetail-Rings/dp/B001BR4TJYI've had this one for several years and it's been great.

On the much cheaper side, I've heard good things about the BSA Sweet 22 and UTG Bugbuster, but no personal experience and the brands don't have amazing reputations.
Dunno about the BSA 22 scopes but I've got a BSA target scope and it's about as clear as a mud fence.
Ya, like I said no personal experience with BSA, but I've heard/read good things specifically about the Sweet 22 and Sweet 17 scopes. I don't imagine they'd be something to get for any kind of serious work, but if what I've read is true they probably would work as a beat around, plinking scope. That being said, I'd go with the Muellers or Primary Arms scopes I listed any day over them.Dunno about the BSA 22 scopes but I've got a BSA target scope and it's about as clear as a mud fence.
