Rimfire scope.

Hey everyone, my son has a browning bl22 .22 and really wants to put a scope on it to do some hunting. Problem is is that gun is so small that a regular scope would throw the balance off and look funky on it. So does anyone have a recomendation for a smallish scope? His budget would be around 100$.

If I were you I would buy a cheap marlin 60 or a ruger 10/22 and put a scope on that. To scope a bl22 would be a shame. They are a beautiful rifle. In a couple years I hope to get a bl22 for my boy!

Barska, Tasco and Buschnell and make small tube scopes for .22 that are under 20 bucks and will do the job, but if it were me and I really wanted to scope that little browning I would probably put a short style pistol scope on it.

Here's a different opinion for your son to stir around. This is a BL-22 that I have had since the '70's and it has had this scope on it the whole time. It's a full sixe 4 power scope and it makes a nice combination for mixed use. The only catch is the dovetail grooves are microscopic on the receiver so it's a little tough to get the scope mounted.
