    Need scope/mount advice - Ruger 10/22

    Well, now that the majority of the work on what I've taken to calling "Project Desmond" (in honor of the 007 franchise's resident Mad Scientist and the actor who portrayed him) has drawn to a close, it's time to start looking for a scope, nd I need to humbly petition for the Wisdom of the Crowd again.

    First, a quick view of what we're working with both in weapon and available space.




    Requirements:
    1. Must be Quick Detach, completely toolless removl and reinstall when it's time to break the thing down and put it back in the briefcase.
    2. Must hold zero through repeated remove-reinstall cycles.
    3. Must be compact enough to fit into available space.
    4. Does NOT need to be "tactical," just outwardly look it--this project is a pure Range Toy, not meant for even Critter Gitter never mind any kind of serious work. We're trying to build something that looks like it belongs in a movie and still shoots well enough to be fun in matches, NOT anything we'd issue a real covert operative. (If a REAL Double-O commissioned a build from me I'd hand him an ASDW an an LPVO and call it a day.)
    5. As space is tight, something that can take some knocking aroun while still holding zero is a BIG plus.

    Expected effective range is 100yd max--IIRC the 10/22 is designed as a 100yd-at-most gun though can be tuned for farther. What other data do we need before we can start spitballing suggestions and evaluating candidates? The lazy part of me is tempted to just get one off Pew Pew Tactical's 10/22 scopes list like a Simmons Truplex, slap it in an appropriately sized cantilever and call it a day, but I'm wondering if there isn't something to better fit the needs for my "everything for an entire range trip except the safety gear in one case" concept.

    I MIGHT be able to rearrange the mags and slide the scope into the parts-&-tools tacklebox if that opens up options; that's already where the TRS25 mini-red dot lives.

    Find Nikon with QD rings. You don't want to spend more than a Nikon on a 10/22, you probably don't want to buy less than a Nikon on a 10/22.

    Figures that Nikon left the sector in Dec 2020. Mounts, if i can find one the right height I was thinking see if Aero has something QD, since they're "home team" and fighting our "let's try to ban everything we can all the way to a Mauser Red 9 as 'assault weapons'" HB1240.

    Time to hit the EE, I guess... maybe time to get my ass moving and register over at Rimfire Central too.

    Here are the rings I used on my 10/22s.

    Looks like I missed out on some pretty good glass. So a 3-9x50 BDC at about the $160 pricepoint...

    Damn man, I'm sorry. I had thought I found the last place that still had a few in stock. It's crazy those Nikons get discontinued, while certainly not a Leupold Mark 4 or anything close to that, they were amazing budget glass that blew the hell out of Bushnell and the other $100 scopes. And for dropping on something like a 10/22 they were perfect.

    Really clear glass with enough magnification that you just watch your groups appear as if by magic (when shooting suppressed).

    I have a 3-9 40 Tract 22Fire rimfire scope with BDC on one of my 22s. I like it just fine. The Leupold my buddy has is little brighter with a little better eyebox but more $. I'm happy with mine for the money.

    Sounds like it was a decision Nikon made in a sign of Wokeness for the folks back home because the Japanese market doesn't like "blood sports". (Says the land of tentacle porn...)

    That's crazy, Nikon has made scopes for years. I wonder if it would be worth tracking one down on Gunbroker, they shouldn't be rare or collectible or anything.
