I am probably the odd man out, but I do have an opinion. grin I have 2 scopes I prefer, a Burris 6X compact mini with AO, or a Leupold FX II 6x36 with the parallax set for 40yds. Rings are usually Leupold rimfire lows or if the rifle requires a base such as the Rem. 504 then I go with Burris Z rings in low. All of my Squirrel rifles have that setup on them.
I prefer to stalk Squirrels and will get as close as possible. I'm can be very patient. grin
On paper at 50yds. my groups with a 6x scope pretty much equal what I can shoot with a 24x scope with everything pretty equal as the target below shows. Both rifles were cleaned then shot using the ammo they perform the best with. Wolf MT is what both shoot the smallest groups with. These are 5 shot groups.
