Darren as a starting point for you I would go either a Leupold vx-1 or a Redfield.
I have a VX-1 and find it to be a great basic scope with good optics.. I also have an older Redfield and I also like that but the new ones let me down with the cross hair being rather thick.
Leupold has a lifetime guarantee and if you find your self wanting much better later then you will fit it to your .22
3x9x40 is a good size hunting scope the suits most applications and what ever you do dont get sucked into thinking big is better... going out buying a 6x24 x50 for hunting is not advisable... the higher the magnification you have it dialed up the harder it is to look through quickly to get on target and you also lose sight of where you are in the big picture.
On a 3x9 I have it set at 3 and on my Varmint rifle 4x16x56 I have it set at about 5.
Stay away from being sucked into all the ebay ones from China.. you will soon learn as soon as you look through real scope your one sucks.
Also price match as this hunting industry in this country sucks bad and its not often prices are advertised and vary greatly from shop to shop.
