I'm a big fan of vortex optics myself. Great quality, supurb quality, even among their lower end options. And a unbeatable warranty.

This is a great scope for a .22LR IMO: $149

Vortex has tons of options in your price range, so it really depends on what magnification, recital and size you want.

Looks good. Have not pulled the trigger yet.
Will give it a good look...

If you have a Cabela's nearby I know they carry Vortex in stock. Mine is actually ususally within a few bucks of Amazon's prices as well.
