Let's get this out of the way. Are we assuming the AO or focus ring on scopes is a different animal than the parallax adjustment or does it serve the same purpose?
One of the most important considerations in a rimfire scope is the fact you need to focus down to shorter distances than most centerfire scopes require. 50 yards is acceptable, but 25 is sometimes even more useful, where as most centerfire scopes will struggle to focus clearly below 75-100 yards with their parallax set for 125-150 yards. Now that there are plenty of rimfire scopes available for every purpose, this shouldn't be an obstacle to finding a good rimfire scope these days. The 4-12 Leupold is just about the optimum scope for rimfire hunting purposes- as long as it has an AO or focus knob for the shorter distances a hunting rimfire is used for IMO.... but there are lots of other great choices also.
