Well, a friend at work came by today and brought me a Simmons 4X12 40mm scope for my 10/22. He said I could have it and that the only thing he wanted was some folder that he could give to his wife. So, I just need to figure out what folder I will give him in trade. He stated it did not need to be a value for value trade. I thought it was a nice gesture. The scope is very nice - like new.
Do you really want a 4x12 40mm scope mounted on your small, light 10/22?
You might want to rethink that. You're shooting a 22 not a 308.
Actually, the scope isn't that heavy and as I stated its just a plinker rifle for me so the weight is no big deal. Actually, adding a heavy scope to a light rifle makes more sense to me than adding a heavy scope to an already heavy rifle. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I can easily move it to one of my other rifles when I want...and I can't beat the price (free). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />
Thanks to all for the replies and suggestions.
