You should choose optics based on the intended usage.
That said,i prefer USO,Nightforce and Premier where you will get clear glass,quality CS at a reasonable price backed by a warranty.
I prefer scopes that allow me to see my hits out to 400-500 yds,and you will not get that with the lower end stuff being peddled.
I myself use bi focals,it makes quality optics that much more important and with my love of LR shooting i find it necessary.

A popular scope .22lr that won't break the bank is the Mueller APV. They usually run $115-$130 and have good clarity and (the much needed on a .22) paralax adjustment down to 15yds .
You could spend over $1k on a US optics, Nightforce, or even $500+ on Leupold but for a .22lr you won't be shooting at the distance that those really shine (if you were building a 500+yd gun those would be great choices though).
I'd just go with the APV if you choose a mueller. I have standard height rings on my 10/22 and the APV with it's 40mm objective barely clears the barrel (as in, it actually drops down into the fluting at 12 o'clock). That other scope has a 50mm objective, so you'll have to go with taller rings and will have more offset at the short ranges .22lr are shot at. Plus 8.5x is pretty high power for rimfire, let alone 25x.This is going on a bolt action 22LR to be used as a bench/range rifle.

I'm 56. Maybe some local competition
It was suggested to me to check out this more powerfull scope as well.

Does not not depend on your own Vision, as to what power you can use?
At 100yqrds my eyesite starts coming up 'short'.
A lot of times light transmission can be the culprit with old eyes. A 50mm objective and/or a 30mm tube may help too.
Magnification is only part of the picture,... Pun intended!
What determans the proper pairing of scope to rifle?
How do I choose 'the best choice' for my bolt action 22LR Target rifle?
56 year old eyes.
I plan to shoot at the range and maybe competition.
