[QUOTE="henschman, post: 2824472, member: 4235"] Unless you bought the 10/22 used, it should have come with a scope mount. You will need a small screwdriver to remove the set screws in the receiver and install the scope mount screws. Figure out what scope you want. A short scope is best on a Ruger with the factory mount, because it has a short receiver, and a long scope will sit too far to the rear for eye relief in proper shooting positions. There are several options for short fixed power scopes in the 4x magnification range in the $50 and under price range if you look around on Midway's website. The factory Ruger mount accepts Picatinny, Weaver, and 3/8" dovetail rings. The picatinny and Weaver styles are much more secure, so go with one of them. On a traditional stocked rifle it is best to mount the sight as low as possible, to minimize the amount you'll need to raise the comb to get cheek weld -- so get some rings marked "low" as long as the objective lens of the scope is 40mm or smaller. Hope this helps! Oh, and you should bring the rifle to an Appleseed! [/QUOTE]
