Hello everyone! I just found out my parents are getting me a 10/22 Ruger® 10/22® Carbine Autoloading Rifle Model 1256 for christmas. They wanted to know what else I'd like with the gun. Obviously the Ruger BX-25 magazines are a must, however, I'm a pistol guy and have very little idea on what to look for in a rail and scope.
Normally I'd do my own research to at least narrow it down to a focused question but I'm currently mid finals week and shouldn't even be typing this up, but my parents would like to order everything before the end of the week.
Anyway, Suggestions for a quality rail and scope? I've read the 10/22 has a max flat trajectory of about 125 yards so I obviously don't need something more powerful than that. I think something that would work well between the 25-100 or 50-125 yard distances would be the most preferable (if scopes even function within those ranges). I'd prefer something quality between the $100 and $250 price point.
Finally, ammo types. What would be the best ammo to get for general plinking that has a decent quality/price trade off and what's the most lethal ammo I could shoot out of this little guy?
Again apologies for asking questions I could answer on my own but time and work constraints leave me in your capable hands! Thanks in advance!
