Default .22 scope
Remington 552, what scope is the best? Has to be a mix of quality/price.

No offense,but simmons are garbage. Had three and they all got sent back to the factory. Hard to beat a nikon. Best scope out there for the money.

I own Leupold, Nikon and Redfield. I just bought the Redfield a few weeks ago and I think I prefer it over the others as far as the amount of light it let in.

Had all 3 rifles on the back porch the other evening testing them out.

Redfield scopes were also bought out by Leupold.

For the money, I suggest the 3 x 9 x 50mm. It's a big optic but a very nice scope for around $150.

Check one out and read the reviews, I think you will be impressed..

But my other scopes I have in Leupold and Nikon are very fine optics that have been good to me.

Check them out. They are really nice. I'm not saying they are better than Leupold or Nikon but so far it's close to them.

BSA makes a nice scope called the "Sweet 22". Brother-in-law has it on his savage and loves it.

I have bushnell sportviews on my 7mag and .22. Dont know the powers, but the one on the 7mag is bigger. I had no problems with either at the range. Only sighted in the .22, dead center at 50yrds.
