I have a Weaver R4 rimfire scope (on the stainless 10/22) that's about 5yrs old. If we are talking about the same scope, it's a real good one. Seems to me it was about $90 back then. It has Japanese optics, and if you know anything about optics, the Japanese make the best. They've had lots of experience with camera making!
It's a good one.
