i hear simmons are decent for that price. look into BSA as well. barska puts out super cheap scopes but then i doubt they are very good quality. also try looking for a used scope. i bought a really nice tasco used for 30 bucks. its a great 3x9 scope. with 100 as a limit you are really stuck using slightly cheaper optics. if you can save and make it 200. you can get some good choices in burris, nikon. theses are really good scopes.I have inherited a .22 LR bolt action rifle, it currently has a Sears scope on it. I would like to replace the existing one with a new one. Can someone recommend a decent scope for under $100? Thanks!
I agree that if I was planning on shooting this gun a lot, I would put a Leupold scope on it. However, since I have had this gun for 15yrs and just shot it for the first time, I don't see the point in putting an expensive scope on it. I typically shoot my other guns more.I find it odd that we rate level of importance of the firearms based on caliber. You would never put a cheap cope on an 308 or 338 lapua. But those weapons get used not very often, yet 22's get **** scopes. I say put the best scopes on the ones we fire the most. I'm putting a delta point leupold dot on my ruger 22/45 to get use to it so I can decide if I want to put on on my glock 30 or 19. I have a sig 522 and that I'm going to get a something cool as well. Can't afford to shoot the ar's as much as the 22's, so cool [email protected] goes on thoughs guns.
How about peep sights ? As you already know, there are no good scopes for $100.I agree that if I was planning on shooting this gun a lot, I would put a Leupold scope on it.

What's the make, condition and age of the rifle? How about a photo? If it's an old collectable then perhaps a nice used Weaver would be best in keeping with it's originality.
