What scope for a .22LR

RDF,
From personal experience with both the 10/22 and that particular scope I'd suggest that you also invest in a set of Burris `Signature' rings with the inserts. When you go to mount it make certain that you've got a complete set of the different offset inserts and do the initial `rough' aligment of the scope via the inserts. Once you get it hitting fairly close on target *then* use the scope's adjustments. (The main reason is that the scope's adjustments aren't exactly `linear' and the farther from `original' centre things start to get a bit `wierd'. Also *if* you are going to ever attempt to do any shooting out beyond about 100yds you won't be able to adjust the scope anywhere near what you'll need. [My nephew is the one who now has the 10/22 and scope combination and with the offset via the inserts he can change fairly reliably from 50yds all the way out to almost 200yds! Off of a rest he can work his way through a group of clay pigeons set at varying distances starting at 50 yds and ending at 200yds averaging a couple shots for each one.]) Before we installed the Burris rings and their inserts a little over 100yds was the max that it could be adjusted reliably to and anything beyond that was guess work and `prayer'. While I know that not everyone will want to even try to extract such `insane?' performance from a 10/22 it is nice to know that *if* one wants to attempt it, it can be done. (It *is* also an excellent exercise in control that can pass on to other endeavours with other rifles and as such is not a waste of effort as it first may appear. {GRIN!})
