I like my 3-9 EFR, although I'm not a real fan of the Compact Leupold series in general. The A/O does help get down to very close ranges. I have a 50' range above my shop and garage. It's nice to get perfect parallax settings.

My favorite of all rimfire scopes is a Kahles 2-7 now on my Cooper Classic. That combo is hard to beat at about any price. It has 50 yd. parallax and isn't as good on the 50' range but is tough on squirrels, better in that application than the 3-9 EFR, IMO.
