A wise man once said to me: "Accurate, sturdy, cheap. Pick any 2 and you might get lucky. You can't ever have all three."Looking for something cheap to put on my 10/22.
Instead of half way decent, how about a really good quality scope that because it's discontinued and on clearance happens to be in your price range? One that is clear and bright and will last a lifetime? These are excellent and work great on 22s. Much better quality and optics than the Bushnell Banner or Mueller APV, and a far better scope for plinking. Of course if you were a target shooter and not a plinker then a step down in quality to the good bang for the buck Mueller APV might make sense because of the magnification and adjustable objective. But for hunting or plinking you can't beat these for twice the money.What's half decent in the sub $100 market? It's just a plinking toy that I got for free. I'm not investing a ton of $ into it.

Weaver scopes are made entirely in Japan. Although Weaver refuses to confirm by who it's generally accepted that the manufacturer is Japan's L.O.W., the best of the Japanese manufacturers.That Weaver scope at Natchez sounds pretty good if it really is a decent scope,but as I understand it Weaver scopes use Japanese glass and the remaining parts come from and assembly takes place in China.
You are looking at two incompatible uses. Parallax is a big issue 22 ranges. A centerfire scope will be set to be parallax free at 100yds or more depending on the manufacturer. Most rimfire scopes and the Weaver shotgun scope that I linked are set to be parallax free at 50yds. Perfect for pinking with a 22.I'm really trying to find a decent,inexpensive mil-dot or P4 reticle scope for the .308 bolt action I'll be getting in the next few months.
