For a younguns I'd pick irons and let them master that while saving to buy their own scope.

I think Warrior is right but if you have to have one,Weaver makes a nice little 2x7 rimfire with 1" tube.

I have a leupold 2-7 freedom rimfire that is used quite a bit. Glass is pretty good, it’s thrown around a lot and I’ve never had it off zero.

I would look at a 1-6x primary arms scope with the kiss reticle. Like warrior said they have a 22 reticle too i believe. Plenty of mag for 22 ranges and can turn it down to 1x for close up rabbits and squirrel.

A little more magnification than the ones stated above, but CDNN has bushnell b17 3.5x10x36 on sale for $50. Supposed to be a decent scope.

I had a red dot on my 10/22 and this gun is also my trapping rifle. I ended up taking it off, wasnt worth a crap in dark and at shorter distances.
I like irons especially for .22s. Now when the young one gets up to say a .22 mag or .17 hmr, then yes a scope for the distance capable is warranted, but irons are good for a starter setup teachers em.to be a good shooter first.

Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I had a bushnell 2x38 on mine, great for squirrels in the woods, especially in lower light levels.

Vortex 2-7x32 Crosfire II BDC on a EGW extended 20moa rail with high weaver quad lock rings one extended https://www.midwayusa.com/product/1477183444

you would find it looks just like this , I know the parts fit very little clearance but they do fit.
the young one can grow and move the scope forward as long as they don't grow to a giant size and it still fits and works well

Why 20moa because it costs the same as the 0mao and when you start playing around at 200 yards which is a great way to learn to read the wind and deal with elevation changes lager then the target the 20moa gives the added adjustment needed.

Here is the Weaver 2x7 on a CZ youth model.
[Linked Image]
This is the Leupold 2x7 on a Tac Sol version of the 10/22. On rifles like these,I like a scope that is light,doesn't sit too high and is relatively proportionate to the size of the rifle.Both setups are deadly on ground squirrels,out to 100 yds. [Linked Image]

2-7x makes a lot of sense on anything not long range , at 2x you can get on a target fast and close. I have shot a bunch of running deer as close as 7 yards an out to about 125

but at 7x you can still see 400 reasonably well

Always thought a good peep sight would/ should be the ticket on a 22
Anyone know if any models of the Henry rifles come with a peep?
