For a .22 anything will work really. Don't go spending the value of your gun on an optic to shoot 22lr at 50m lol, pretty pointless.

I’ve found this one off Amazon https://a.co/d/0dBhThZH not sure if it’s any good or what to look for when looking online

Even that's more expensive than what you really need haha. These scopes are mass produced, $30 from China. Buy 10 of em for 300 dollars + shipping and resell em for 120 a piece.

Only thing you really need to look out for for Rimfire is AO (adjustable objective) lens. It'll help you eliminate parallax errors. People who think Bushnell or Vortex aren't made in the same $30 a scope factories are kidding themselves

Unironically yes lol

Most "airsoft" scopes are rated for minimum 700g shock rating, an SKS has like 550g of recoil shock. 22LR is like... I don't even know, 100? It's negligible

Edit: refer to this chart by Holosun.

I’m planning on competing in a 50yard competition so I don’t know if I really need ao or not

Sometimes you will find "Rimfire" versions of scopes that have fixed parallax settings at 50. Most non-adjustable objectives are set to 100 yards. So, I'd recommend either adjustable or fixed Rimfire set at 50. If you don't adjust the objective for a shorter range your reticle will appear too far left/right depending on your head position.

Personally if I'm just screwing around I'd just say screw it and deal with it. But if you're competing you might want to look into AO more.

I will send you a message, one moment.

Honestly  have gotten most of my recent optics off there... Victoptics sells on their official store their and makes good ones. They are more popular in Europe I believe.
