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
