22LR Target Pistol Scope/Red Dot Mounts

[NWIeng]

Just picked up a 22A and took it out. Love it. It's going to save me a ton of money and still allow me to go shooting indoors this spring while my wife is taking graduate courses.

So my question is, what kinds of scopes/red-dot mounts do some of the members have? Pictures, thoughts, and general reviews would be greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to spend under $100, with 22 pistols, can you skimp on the cheaper optics since the recoil is almost non-existent?

Thanks for the help.

I put a Red dot on a Phoenix HP22. Talk about a cheap setup that is alot of fun. I probably have $100 in the whole setup. I will try to post a couple of pics. Jim

Also, if anyone has names of actual red dot mounts they use and the dot size that I should be looking for for plinking under 50 feet, that would fabulous!

how did you mount that red dot? Did you make the mount or buy it?

I would try to avoid skimping too much. Nothing worse than optics that do not hold POI or keep shutting off.

At that price range, the Bushnell TRS-25 and the Primary Arms Micro Dot tend to standout and either would go well on a 22a. I prefer smaller dots, so 3moa or smaller is normally my criteria.

I was just in your shoes and went with a Burris fastfire.

I just want to know how you mounted it to the barrel!?

Got a cheap ($45) NC Star on my 22A , does decent after acquiring the sight picture.

I had a Burris Fastfire on my 22A and it worked well.

If you have a picatinny or weaver rail on your gun this will fit right on.
It's small and light and not very expensive and if you order it through Walmart, shipping is free to your nearest Walmart store.

Weaver Micro Dot Sight - Walmart.com I see it's not currently available from Walmart but there are several other sources.

I'm running the Bushnell TRS-25 with a 3 moa dot on My Ruger MKIII 22/45. It's small, lightweight and works really well. It should also fit your budget.
