After selecting a rifle, the majority of rimfire shooters will probably add other peripheral equipment to their outfits. Aftermarket barrels, stocks, triggers, and sights constitute a rather large industry, which will be covered in Chapters 5 and 12. While many rimfire shooters will not change the barrels or stocks on their rifles, there is no doubt that sights, especially scopes, will be necessary because an increasing number of fine rimfire rifles are being sold without sights. That is especially true of the models in 22 WMR and 17 HMR calibers which are intended for use at ranges up to 150 yards and includes some of the moderately priced Marlin and Savage rifles. It is unreasonable for most people to expect to hit a ground squirrel or crow at 150 yards with open sights. Therefore, the majority of rimfire shooters will make choices of scopes to mount on their rifles. Scope sights and mounts are discussed more fully in Chapter 5, but we will make some general comments here.
