Does anyone currently manufacture a fixed 6X rimfire scope?
(Parallax set at 50 yds)

Think this might be the only thing on the market, have read a few decent reviews on them (no experience). Not sure if Leupold will still re-set the parallax anymore? If they do, maybe pick up a 6x42 and send it in? https://www.amazon.com/Primary-Arms-Classic-Non-Illuminated-Reticle/dp/B00WMYD4R8

You want a 6x MQ with adjustable parallax from 10yds to infinity. Also has 42 Mil's on the erector and another 10 etched on the windshield. Hint. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1280x1024q70/924/QOl56w.jpg) Thank me later...............

They don't. I emailed them on 4/7/22: "Can you change the parallax setting on one of your scopes?" They answered: "Thank you for your interest, but unfortunately the Leupold Custom Shop is closed indefinitely and we are unable to offer any retrofit or custom build services." Just checked the Leupold website a couple of minutes ago - Support > Service > Custom Shop. https://www.leupold.com/support/service/custom-shop"The Custom Shop Is Closed At This Time Thank you for your continued interest in the Leupold Custom Shop! Unfortunately the Custom Shop remains closed at this time."

Jim - Good to know, too bad though Here's what Stick is referring to, was thinking they were discontinued but looks like you may be able to backorder one. https://www.swfa.com/swfa-6x42-ss-30mm-riflescope-105767.html

The 6X SWFA is good to go. I have one on one of my rimfires and it is excellent... if you can't get a new one, you may find a used one on ebay or other outlets...

This scope is made in the Czech Republic & has parallax adjustable on the front objective starting at 10 yards. But other than it meeting some of your your criteria, I don’t know anything else about it: https://www.opticsplanet.com/valiant-optics-lynx-6x40mm-rifle-scope.html

Not hard to adjust parallax on a scope yourself if your a bit adventurous. I did one myself, not a big deal!

I believe it means that they no longer make, assemble or service anything here (USA) and find it cheaper to replace than repair.

Here's the full text of the announcement on their website:
Thank you for your continued interest in the Leupold Custom Shop! Unfortunately the Custom Shop remains closed at this time.
We are facing an incredible demand for Leupold products. In order to keep bringing the world’s best sporting optics to you, straight from our factory here in Beaverton, Oregon, we have dedicated all of our resources to production and are building inventory as quickly as we can.
Though we do not yet have a date for resuming Custom Shop services, we are actively evaluating the situation with the intent to resume services as soon as possible.
We thank you for your support.

I'd be interested, if it had a duplex reticle.

Mark, there was a long thread years ago on how to do a PA change on a Leupold, DIY. You can probably find it with a search - quite sure it was in the optics forum here. I have not done it, but considered it, as it seems quite simple, quick, and much faster than sending one off - IF one COULD get Leupold to do it. Their CS dept and lack of a custom shop is telling...........all about SELLING - NEW.
