What power scope for a .22?

[Intercooler]

     Anyone know what functions best on one out 50-100 yards?

You don't really mention what it is for, which makes answering the question less precise.

As an all around I have read good things about this scope:

http://www.amazon.com/Mueller-APV-4-5-14x40-AOScope/dp/B000SULCTA

But, it will have a limited field of vision if you are looking for something to pick off pests with.

Target shooting for now at 100 yards.

[sqlbullet]

The above should be great for that purpose.

For target shooting at a set distance from a bench, it really doesn't matter much, and more magnification is better, up to a point. Hard to go wrong with a standard 3x9 scope for just walking around in the woods though, and is what I use on my .22's.

I have to agree, 3x9x40 for 30 cal or 3x9x32 for 22's work well.  Too much magnfications can hamper field of view, amplfy movement for handheld shots.  If shooting rested the extra magnfication isn't a bad thing.

Larger optics up front usually gather more light, better for early or late shooting situations...

Don't have much experience with scopes.

I'm looking for Silver and get discounts on these. Check out 89432 here: http://www.weaveroptics.com/optics/riflescopes/classic_rimfire/

and this one:

Either of those win out?

Intercooler I have this on on my Muzzle Loader and kill my last deer at 130+ yards with it, of course I killed 4 deer using that very same rifle since I bought it!

I purchased 4 of these on sale one year at Academy Sports for $13 each with safety glasses and ear muffs...What a buy!

I changed out two of my 22 rifle scope and even put one on my Benjamin .177 cal Airgun, dam that thing puts a hurting squirrels...

[Intercooler]

Weird question but do you have a picture of that Tasco?

I'm compiling all the info for scopes on paper now and that one is on the list. Discounts are nice but still maybe to much $$ for a $200 rifle.

[Intercooler]

Oh. I see: Parallax Setting:    100 yds  on that one. From what I have read for a .22LR it is better to have one set at 50 yards. Thoughts on that?

[The_Shadow]

Which Tasco picture are you wanting?  The one on the air rifle? or Muzzleloader?

Parallax Settings are for when you are working to 100+ yards...

[Intercooler]

Similar to your suggestion.

Trying the Barska

Here's a pretty good writeup on parallax to help you make the best decision for you.

What a scope ring fiasco. I spent like a week researching rings to fit it and the receiver groove. The more I read the more the reviews and info confused me. Today I finally found a pair of silver 3/8" dovetails in stock for $10 (only set in 3 stores) and decided to go that way rather than chance a bad mail-order. Shockingly they clear everything with even the caps on and seem to hold tight. Can't wait to try the scope out zeroing it in at 100 yards.

Personally I like to be over scoped on my rim fires...

Natchez has a great deal on Simmons 4x12 and 6x18 scopes. These are 69 & 59 dollars respectively. I bought one initially to see and liked them SO MUCH I bought FOUR MORE!! http://www.natchezss.com/product.cfm?contentID=productDetail&prodID=SN517721&src=exrbSrch

They have GREAT clarity, EXCELLENT eye relief. SIDE focus parallax adjustment. (A ABSOLUTE MUST for my rim fires)

Give them a look, I KNOW you will like what you see.
