Rimfire optics recommendations?
Need a new scope for my Marlin 60sb, and just dont have a lot of experience with many, so thought Id drop this and see what other people like.
Looking for just a simple 4x or 6x, preferably in stainless steel/silver/chrome finish, either including a set of matching rings or with a 20mm tube so I can use the rings I have on hand, and price wise coming in under $100.
Any suggestions?

For that price point, there is quite abit of junk on the market. Did a quick search and not much in silver finish.. mostly Barska and noname garbage. In black I see some options like the BSA sweet .22, and some Simmons options. Nothing all that spectacular either way. Up your budget abit and you can get into the lower end Vortex scopes.
FWIW I would spend a little more on the scope, if you go cheap your probably in for some disappointment.

Agreed. Spend a little more and you'll probably be happier with what you end up with.
I bought a hawke scope for 180$ from Midway for my Ruger American Rimfire. I'm very happy with it. That was my version of going cheap. Once you hit around 200$, you have a lot more options. But as already mentioned, if you insist on anything other than black, you are going to really cut that is out there.

Doesn't exactly fit your requirements but, this is a nice scope for the money.

I picked up an old 6-18 Tasco for 50 bucks at a gun show. I have it on a 10/22. Set at 18 power, I can easily see the imprints on the target at 50 yards. For target shooting a .22, I like a higher power scope. If I took it squirrel hunting, I have a smaller 3-9 zeroed for it.
The 3-9 has a duplex reticle. The crosshairs work with high velocity rounds. The tip of the vertical lower post happily is perfect for standard velocity.Last edited by Bang; November 9th, 2020 at 05:45 PM. Reason: dual to duplex
There are two kinds of guns. Those I have acquired, and those I hope to.

Mueller is another good option. A little more than you wanted to spend.
