Reviving an old thread I know...but its worth mentioning Midway has these 3-9x40 Conquest rimfires on clearance right now for $355 & free shipping..At this price I couldn't pass it up this time around.
Here was the most telling review to me regarding this scope on Midway's site:
"This is a magnificent product! One thing, though.....note that this is a 50-yard parallax set scope. It does NOT have a side parallax adjustment as shown in the list of features on the Midway page. I was very annoyed by that discovery. Midway's text description is correct, however. Anyway, this scope is the clearest I've ever owned, and dead-on when sighted-in. It's perfect for 50-foot precision shooting. At 100 yards, it will drive you crazy. If this matches your needs. you'll be very, very happy with it."
This coincides with my thinking that parallax is more an issue to contend with at longer distances than shorter. I believe the rimfire designation is a marketing ploy that in my view is unnecessary. I' d rather spend my money on an adjustable objective equipped scope.
