re: Best Scope for Ruger 10/22

Those listed will all work just fine, but I don’t see any reason to spend $300 on a scope for a .22

I guess it would depend on the total rig outlook. If you have a nice premium .22 that you bought new, such as a Henry or Marlin 60 stainless / Laminate, and you are into one careful shot, upwards of 128 yards. A nicer scope definitely makes the whole rig premium.
If your just rapid firing with a 10/22, probably a lesser scope would serve well.

Adjustable parallax makes a world of difference in short range accuracy. A 100 yard parallax scope is horrendous at 20 yards and accuracy suffers with anything but perfect shooting form. Parallax adjustable down to 10 yards is the ticket for a .22 or a pellet gun if you want to shoot the eyeball out of a squirrel

Sounds like a poorly set up rifle. Build the comb up so you get consistent alignment with a solid cheek weld to the comb. Then parallax error doesn't matter. I don't want to have to laser a squirrel and adjust my objective each time I take a shot in the field. But that's me.

Answer to Nikon question, NO. They offer you credit toward another product.

You don’t have to laser anything. Move your eye up and down as you adjust the knob, soon as the crosshairs stop moving the parallax is perfect. Takes seconds once you get used to it. At that point your face doesn’t even have to be on the stock, just the crosshairs on the target no matter how you see them. Right hand, left hand, no hands, don’t matter

Open question for everyone- I'm in the market for a new r10/22, are the iron sights that bad that you need a scope? I have a ruger american ba 22lr and the iron sight is very accurate in typical squirrel hunting range. I haven't tested it out further than that. Not interested in competition shooting. And when it comes to squirrels, if I can't find it in iron sights, I don't even know it is there to begin with. Not trying to throw shade or start further arguments, just looking for education from people who know 10x more than me.

SWFA fixed 6x scopes have adjustable focus down to 6 meters I believe. Great rimfire scopes.

At the range, the standard sights are great. In low light situations aiming into the trees, I could barely see my iron sights. That’s why I went with a Crossfire Vortex. I did buy some upgrade sights, but the scope has been good enough to stop me from installing.

Thank you for the answer. My follow-up question is going to sound like a troll, but it's not. What does a trip to the eye doctor cost and get glasses or contacts? I wouldn't have though about this before but my wife has been mostly blind her whole life (explains how she married me) and insisted recently I try on some glasses, and it made a huge difference in everything. What I mean to say is, instead of a $500 scope, in this particular application, perhaps a $100 visit to the eye doctor and some glasses is the better path.

“are iron sights that bad that you need a scope”
Once you get into the 35-40 y.o range it’s almost impossible to focus on 3 things-rear sight,front sight and target.
In any event a peep sight is much better than standard rear v sight.I learned about peep sights in the military,had them on several of my rifles after I got out.

I have a Tasco 3x9x32 Model 21012 I put on my Marlin Model 60 in 1985 and I would shoot against anyone at 50 yards or less.
I took it to the deer lease shooting range a couple years ago and was shooting holes in spent rounds at 50 yards. Hit 10 in a row.
I know there are WAY better scopes out there, but they’re overkill for a 22 IMO.
