Brand new Ruger 22/45 Target. Scope or no scope?

I got tired of lugging my henry .22 through the woods while chasing coon hounds, so I bought myself an early graduation present, a Ruger 22/45 target.
When I opened the box I found out that it included a scope base and was already drilled and tapped. I wasn't ready for that and hadn't even considered a scope. Now that I know I have the option, should I get one? I'm pretty sure it'll make the gun easier to shoot well, but I've never shot nor carried a pistol with a scope. How much more of a PITA is it to carry a scoped pistol? How much easier is it to shoot a scoped pistol well?

Didn't think about that. Think it'll work alright when I'm shining a bright arse head light through it?

Should work fine, but Ill pull the AR out tonight and put a headlamp on when it gets dark.

Sweet. Lemme know how it works out. With the way I shoot I need all the help I can get. I was smoking my little plinky target thing at 20 yards with it earlier, but I think that'll go to shite in the dark with these sights.
I clicked around for a while and didn't realize that red dots were so popular on handguns.

you got any ammo for that thing?

What kind of holster do you pack that thing in with the scope?

About 100 rounds I guess.
If I have to quit coon hunting because I can't find bullets yall will see a meltdown like never has been seen in the history of internet.

If I had your money I'd buy myself a smith 66 combat magnum.

That's sexy.
I want one just like that with the bull barrel.
After I get my Sig P226

The gun with a holster and box of hoppes gun wipes was $330 out the door.

Have the same gun, put a cheap 25mm BSA dot sight on it. Fun, very accurate, and the zero seems to hold well when the red dot sight is removed and put back on.

Buy a bore snake for it too. Don't want to have to take the fricker apart too much.

I'd personally stick with a reflex red dot as opposed to a tubular to keep weight down but I'm sure either would be good.

I don't clean .22s unless they get wet.
