I have an older 10/22 with the walnut stock. A few ounces kinda helps me because I use a sling and with a 22 I think a 4x or 6x fixed is fine. I have a 6X fixed on mine, easy on eyes that need but don't want glasses. I have a nylon or whatever(cheap) sling. Uncle Mikes I think. Helps with the shakes with no rest handy and carrying is secondary with me. I generally have my long gun in my hand while walking, may use the sling on a steep uphill but I would recommend both. That 22 is accurate enough for a scope. That's my opinion. Don't remember who asked but a USED 10/22 Mag runs 500 and up used in KY.
