I've been working at my present company for 10 years. Every 5 years from your hiring date, I am given access to a website that offers service awards based on how many years I've been there.

This time around, two of the choices include a Leupold VX-1 scope, or a Ruger American Rimfire rifle (.22 rifle with synthetic stock and tapped for scope mounts). There are other odds and ends to choose from, but most other things I don't need or want (golf clubs, appliances, cheap grill, etc).

Currently, I do not have a rifle that needs a new scope, and I already have a .22 rifle (Ruger 10/22). I don't know the market value of these two items off-hand, but assume them to be reasonably close in value.

I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on either of these two items, good or bad.

Also, I had the idea of working with the gun shop that would receive shipment of the item to see if they would accept the new rifle as a trade towards a target or carry pistol for my wife. I don't see why this couldn't be done, but would be interested in comments. Furthermore, if someone has a small-ish caliber pistol that they are looking to get rid of, maybe we could work out a deal!

thanks for the input.
 
I would take the highest priced one. If the scope is higher priced then you could always keep it for another rifle.

Just depends on which one you have the most use for right now.

So does anyone want to accept a brand new .22 rifle in a trade for their .22, .40, or 9 mm pistol? Let me know how much extra it would take to sweeten the pot.
