Recently purchased a Ruger 10/22 and am looking for a suitable scope for it. I initially put a TruGo 3-9x40 on it I had just lying around the house. I haven't tried actually shooting with it yet, but it's a bit big for this rifle, I think. The objective end is touching the rear iron sight, which isn't sitting well with me, and the eye relief isn't the greatest because of how long the scope is.
I don't really want one of the cheap-@$$ scopes that are 'made' for .22's; the Barskas, Simmons, etc. I'd like to purpose a decent rifle scope for it.
I'm looking at this one;

I understand it's made for ARs really, but I've seen a couple folks mention purposing it for an M1A, Mini-14, etc. It's a nice, compact scope with more than enough magnification for just range use; I've never really been off a 3x power ever, I think. My primary concern is the eye relief, since I'm not going to have a whole lot of play once the rings are on with how short the tube is.
Or if anyone has other suggestions. My ceiling is ideally ~$200. Nikons are preferable; I also like Bushnell. I don't want to go too overboard on a .22.
