What are you shooting and what range? I've had a few different scopes on my 22 mag depending on what I was doing. Target shooting I had a 6-18x50mm scope. For general purpose stuff I've had two 3-9x40's, although they didn't work well for small game. The parallax was set at 100 yards for those scopes so shooting a squirell at 30 feet at a weird angle cause me to miss a coupe head shots because my eye wasn't lined up right and the cross air drifted....
Right now I'm using it for varmints around the place, skunks, possums, raccoons, coyotes. This fall I'll use it for small game, squirrels and rabbits. I also use it at night for coyote hunting by moon light. For the needs listed I mounted a millet 3moa reddot in 1" weaver low rings. The scope is the same length as the scope base and sits just a smidge above it in the low rings. The hammer is of course unobstructed in this configuration so no spur is needed. There's no magnification but I can use it in very low light.
So it depends on how your using it what scope would be the best. If most of your shots are 100 yards, get a centerfire rifle scope, 50 yards or under get a rimfire rifle scope (parallax set at 50) or get a centerfire scope with an adjustible AO so you can set the parallax. Or another option is a reddot (the smaller the dot the better for precision).
