    I still shoot rabbits and possums with the 10/22 I got in 1985. Does that make me a snob for using an old classic, or the opposite end of the spectrum for using worn out gear without any bluing left,...

    Bushnell TRS25 on my 10/22, works well. 3MOA dot is bigger than some but fine for the range of 22LR.
