I like this one more than any other I've tried so far. It's a Burris 4-12 Compact rimfire. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/miscellaneous/websize/new%20piccccc%20003.JPG) ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/miscellaneous/websize/new%20piccccc%20008.JPG) It has a thin but useable reticle and the A/O is a nice feature for a rimfire. I've used centerfire scopes with a non A/O at close ranges and have had problems before. ![[Linked Image]](http://photos.imageevent.com/lucky/miscellaneous/websize/new%20piccccc%20005.JPG) The scope has target turrets which I thought were cool when I bought it but I've yet to use them after the initial setting. The eye relief and "eyebox" are generous enough on the later models of these. The clarity of this scope is what makes it a joy to use for informal target shooting to popping squirrels off the back deck. I'm not a big fan of Burris scopes in general but I think they hit a home run with this model. Terry

Doug has 4-12x40 Pentax Gameseeker Demos for 49.99 right now. I just ordered one for my new 10-22. You can't beat that with a stick.

I like the Kahles CL 3-9 x 42 SF on my Anschutz 1710: ![[Linked Image]](http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd41/HawaiiPD/IMG_0392.jpg) CDNN has them on sale for about $600.00

Rimfire is the one application where I prefer a Leupold scope.The shorter eye relief of the VXII 3x9x33EFR makes the scope fit perfectly on my Cooper Jackson Hunters in 22lr,and 17Mach2.

Pretty much what everyone else has said about Leupold & Weaver rimfire scopes and many of the others mentioned....but one that I have had very good luck with for the price is the Simmons 22Mag 3-9X AO. Natchez has these for under $50 and for that price I really have'nt found anything that even comes close....they are clear, they track well, and they "fit/compliment" most rimfires in size and appearance.....just my two cents

There are probably better choices but for me my old Leupold 3 x scopes are perfect. Parallax has never bothered my .22 RF shooting either.

Leupold Rimfire EFR 3x9x33 by far, though I think it's a lot of money to spend on a scope for a rimfire..............547.
