"Is paralax adjustment required for rimfire use?" Why certainly! If you're not using an 8-32x50 AO on a rimfire you won't be able to hit a watermelon at 30 yards and your trigger will probably rust.

Thanks for all the help. I picked up a Burris Timberline 4.5-14x32 AO with ballistic plex for a really good price that looks like it may fit the bill.

Strosfan, I can tell you that Vortex can not reset the parlx on their 2-7 Viper to rimfire yardage. I had the same idea as you. I'm still using a 2-7 viper on my .22. Wouldn't mind a little more top end mag sometimes at the range. If Poodleshtr knows right, I can deal w. a half inch of field error.
Ella Ella, You can reset the Parallax yourself on that scope based on what I'm seeing from the photo on Cameralands web site. I've done 3 scopes so far myself Simmons,Bushnell and Leupold and it's really simple. I spoke to Leupold Tech Service and they confirmed I was doing it just like they do and it wouldn't void my warranty. Robert

See you already picked up a Burris, my .02 cents though... The Leupold 3-9x33 Rimfire is a nice scope, but spendy and there's seldom a deal on any and if there is they get snatched up immediately. Another option would be to find an older 3-9x40 with A.O or even a 3.5-10x40 A.O They come up on the market now and than and go reasonably enough. I was lucky enough to find a 3-9x40 A.O on here a few months back for around a 120.00 shipped. Think I did pretty well?

Has no one mentioned the fine weaver rimfire 3-9x32 AO scope for around $200.00? or is it no longer made? I had one of these and it was an excellent little scope...........Hillbilly.

The Weaver V-16 is a big favorite with the air rifle, and 22 RF crowd. I have several of them. They focus to 10 yards, and are rugged for high power springer air rifles. The Leupold 3-9 EFR is also used by many 22 RF shooters.

Ended up going with the Timberline due to the good price, clear optics and the compact package. Lots of good AO scopes out there but few that look good on a compact gun.
