Just bought a new Marlin Model 60 .22. Any idea where I can find a affordable scope for it?

Congratulations!

With scopes, the old adage "you get what you pay for" is usually very true. You will find a confusing selection of scopes for your .22 from $4 to $200. I'd say if you look to spend $25 to $30 for scope and rings for your Marlin, you'll be shooting inside the "C" on a Coca-cola can all day.

You can get one of the really cheap Tasco or no-name rimfire scopes with .22 rings for like $6 at Wal-Mart or any sporting goods chain, but I'd advise spending a little more for better quality.

Here's a sweet one by Bushnell for $36 that will be all you ever want:

On my rimfires, I like the old steel Weaver rimfire scopes that they don't make anymore but that you can find at gun shows and on Ebay sometimes. Look out for one of these, they are of a quality you just cannot get anymore...

For now, check out what you local sporting goods store carries and look at the scopes offered at some of the online discounters. I've included links to a couple of my favorites.

If you just want a .22 scope, got to Wal Mart, and they are pretty cheap. Since it's just a .22, you don't need to spend a bunch of money on a scope, because you won't be doing any long range shooting. If you are worried about bullet drop, and that kind of stuff, BSA makes a Sweet 22 scope that is made specifically for .22 rifles. You can find them, pretty cheap, on the Sportman's Guide website.

BSA makes a great sope designed just for 22 rifles. It is called the sweet 22.

Any of the big box hunting stores will have it. I bought on for my 10-22. About 30.00 bucks at Gander Mountain.

Great scope.

ANy outdoors outlet store should have an inexpensive scope for your rifle. Here in Texas we have Academy. But look at your local wal marts or stores like that and you should be able to get a bushnell scope for under 50 dollars.

Gander Mountain.
