If you can, try to go to an outdoor range like the South Bay Rod and Gun Club in Delzura (near San Diego) and see what people are using. I would also visit as many shops as possible to see what they sell since the ones in my area tend to not sell any really junk stuff. If you are in the LA area, visit the Bass Pro Shops store near I10 and I15 as they sell all of them. On out 10/22 I have a red dot 2x scope and our grandson loves it. On my G22 I have a fixed 6x power scope I bought at the Delmar gun show last year for $30 and it works fine. On my black rifle I have a Cabelas Alaskan 2x-12x 30mm adjustable scope and it is fantastic. So as previously noted, read as mauch as you can, talk to as many people as you can and then fit it in with your budget. Oh yeah, a "scope mount kit" is really well worth the $$$$.
