Go for the scope...! !
Vegas,
Congratulations on your new "Wal*Mart" 'Special' 10/22-22 Rifle...! !
It is a very nice package, especially with the larger 'man sized' checkered stock...! !
Go for the scope, and you'll never look back....! !
May I suggest that you look at the "Simmons" line of '22 Mag' scopes:
0 Inexpensive
0 Good quality
0 Small & compact [28mm & 32mm]
0 4x and 3-9X Models
0 Focused for rimfire ranges [60 yards]
0 Matte and Silver finishes
0 Rings supplied with scope
0 Usually run ~ $50. to $60. at Mail Order houses like "Midway" and "Natchez".
0 The 1022T [3-9X 32mm AO] runs about $120. less rings[top of '22 Mag' line].
Avoid the 'Mart' type scopes, as they are for centerfire rifles ["DeerGetter"] and are focused for 100 to 150 yards; at normal rimfire ranges, you will have +/- 1/2" of parallax or more....! !

Hope this helps....! !
