My Dad has a .22 rifle that was probably produced in the 1920s. Could he put this scope on just any .22 rifle? It wasn't made with scopes in mind

When it comes to rifles if there is no designated area for mounting you might want to talk to a gun smith. Most local gun ranges or store could point you in the right direction. You also might want to use Youtube to see if someone has posted a mounting of a scope on that type of rifle before. This one is designed to be place on a gun with a mountable scope area. Like my husbands 30 06. I hope that helps with the answer you were looking for.

If the rifle is a keepsake I would not attempt to do this adding a scope could lower the value of the rifle. If the rifle in question was mass produced but no longer in production then I would consult a qualified reputable gunsmith for his opinion. What works for you can be detrimental to the rifles value. Most modern 22's are cheap enough that I would not risk destroying an antique that is passed down through your family

Only if the old rifle is tapped and a rail screwed to it. This scope requires a rail.

It would definitely take some gunsmithing and fine tuning. That said, I would not choose to put the scope on the rifle due to the fact that it sounds like an antique, and hence a collectors item.

Hi Kevin, depending on the construction of your .22 rifle, a gunsmith can probably install a scope rail to the receiver that will work. I wouldn't try to do that except with a gunsmith. Another thing is that the modification will probably take away from the value of the rifle for resale purposes. I have a .22 that is over 100 years old, owned by my grandmother, that shoots very well with iron sights at 100 yards. So I would not feel a need to put a scope on it.

You can but Redfield has a scope specific for 22lr. Look up Redfield 118450 Battlezone Scope on Amazon.

I have this scope on my M&P; 15 .223 and it is very nice. I think on a 22 it would be over kill - on my 22 I have a UTG 30mm red dot. The problem you are going to have with the scope on the 22 is getting it sighted in. The scope on the .223 was easy to sight in - bore laser put the first round 2 inches from where it needed to be. This scope will fit anything with a standard Picatinny rail - and it also has a secondary system for rails that are different.

I could not say, I used it on a Marlin .22. I suppose you could use it on any rifle.

We mounted ours on an AR but, it will be fine on a 10/22 ( I use a 4x ProStaff on my 10/22). As for competitors, I don't believe you will get better quality for the price, the reticle and optics are far superior to anything else at this price point.

I use this scope on mostly 22 caliber rifles if it fits the rifle I see no reason that it should not be just as sufficient when used on an air rifle

As long as it has a 20mm/picatinny rail base, this can mount on it. This will not mount onto dovetail bases without an adaptor. Most 10/22s I've seen have picatinny rails on them standard now, but you should double check to confirm.

I would not use this on anything that has greater recoil than a .22cal, they are heavy, made in China, and come in a cheap soft plastic sleeve. These are not high quality mil dot scopes, if you want to look cool but don't care how well they work, then, put one on anything you have.

This is a one inch tube. You need to measure the mounting base on your rifle to be sure if it will fit. I think most of the .22 are 3/8ths inch. I think that is the size of the scope mount. If you get the scope, read the manual and set up the eye relief properly. This will help with accuracy

Yes, as long as your .22 has weaver mounts instead of tip off, if it has tip off you'll need different rings.

While having been designed for a long eye relief scope, if you put both scope rings on the forward section of the scope, and have a bent bolt, you can also use a standard short eye relief scope. I have done both on my 1891/30.

If you are talking about the correct rail/mount size, I would start at the Marlin (or whatever manufacturer's) website. If you don't find what you need, call their customer service. If you are talking about the magnification/diameter, that is largely personal preference and the intended use of the rifle. I would say this would be a good overall candidate for a 22lr.

Not so sure. This is an air rifle scope and it is set up for air gun recoil. My scope is on a gamo air rifle. Better check out scopes made for .22 regular rifles.

Sorry emce k, mine is on a 22 lr rim fire rifle w/very little to no recoil...but reading other comments on the review, the scope should be able to withstand large caliber rifle recoils.

I put mine on a Stainless Marlin .17 HMR and it works great. You would need a scope ring set that has 1' rings to the clamp on for the 22 barrels. For the money it is a good scope and very clear. I also have one on my stainless muzzleloader for 5 years now.

Yes this scope should work well with a .22lr. As an air rifle scope, it is engineered for dual direction recoil. This scope is also popular with AR-15 enthusiasts, likely due to it's affordability, clear optics, and most of all...durability. Just be sure to check your mounts / rail on your gun, you may need different rings to accommodate your rail, and possibly the size of the scope.

Yes, I use it on a .22 rifle. There just has to be a rail or something to clamp it on.
