Looking to mount a scope on my Ruger and looking for ideas.

I have a Simmons 8 point 3-9x40 on hand, or am thinking about getting

a Bushnell Banner 4x32 rimfire scope.  I will need 1" rings in any case.

I don't shoot this rifle much, so cost is important.  Ring size recs. would be

appreciated also.

I have used BSA Sweet 22 for years on my 10/22.  The BDC is very accurate, the glass is acceptable, it was easy to zero and has held the same zero over the years. When I first got it, I checked out several different grain bullets and found that my rifle likes 40gr best, I've not re-zeroed since.   Mine is a 6-18, but I am thinking of purchasing the 3-9 Sweet 22 SWFA has on sale right now.  Though I'm not much of a 3-9 fan,  I find 6x on the low end much more limiting than 9x would be on the high end.  There have been a few close, high speed shots that have been very difficult because of the 6x magnification. 

I don't know how the 3-9 will hold up compared to my 6-18, but at $50.00 it is hard to turn down. 

Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

Thanks for that, but I would not mount that big turreted thing on a

10/22.  I am looking for something more simple. I am thinking now about

just getting a mount and rings for my Simmons.

I have the Weaver 2.5-7x28 Classic Rimfire scope, and I like it a lot for the money ($160).

I'd go with the weaver2-7 rimfire I have one on a 22 and like it a lot.
