I like to go to a gun shop and look thru their scopes they have in your price range, mostly looking thru them and evaluate your clarity, field of view and other options available such as variable power which is not as important on a 22 caliber, I guess you shouldn't spend more then you do on your gun but I am liable to, obviously if you have a cheaper model of gun its not going to be as consistent as a higher grade gun but as long as you have an reasonable quality gun, a really clear scope will make a huge difference in your accuracy, especially when your eyesight, like mine, is fading a little, I have been known to spend more on the scope then the gun, a good one will make a huge difference.
My 17HMR being a decent example, I have more invested in the scope then I do in a pretty good Ruger brand gun, that thing will drive tacks way on out there well over 100 yards. love it, now I also put a suppressor on it, which cost a good bit more then the scope. Good Luck!

All the really good ideas I've ever had came to me while I was milking a cow.
