Re: How Lethal Is A .22 ???

From 1972 to 2005, worked a bunch of homicides. Many many shot with .22 rimfire, short and long rifle and a few with magnums.

Re: What is a good cheap scope for a 10-22

Bushnell 4x32 .22 Rimfire, Simmons 3x9 .22 Magnum, these or under $60.00 I like the Nikon 4x32 .22 Rimfire model for about $100.00.
