Rimfire scope recommendations?


Just a thought if you can't find a rimfire scope you like - if you have a good scope you like for a high power, you may be able to send it to the manufacturer and have the parallax reset to a range more suited to rimfire.

I sent a Leupold VX-2, 3x9 with dot reticle back to Leupold and they set the parallax to 75 yards for me. I use it on a .22 magnum Ruger 77/22 mag. I also sent a Swift back to the factory and they set the parallax for me for free. If I recall correctly, Leupold charged $10, which was mainly for shipping back to me.

Burris will reset parallax too, and I'm sure some others will also.

Just one more thing to consider if you don't find a dedicated rimfire scope that you like.

Pentax makes a variable power line with fixed parallax that costs about $110 online, there is 3-9x, 4-12x, and 4-16x. The parallax seems to be fine for .22's, I use the 4-12x on a .22 semi-auto and it focuses well at tree top squirrel distances. The 4-16x focuses a little too far out for .22 use. 3-9x would be perfect.
 
I like the Mueller APV for the money. It's a 4.5x14 power scope with an adjustable objective. Free shipping from Joe Bobs outfitters. Check rimfire central, you can read about various options forever there.

+1. They work great for rimfires, price is right.
 
Got the scope picked out, now on to the rings and bases. For you guys that have the model 93 did you use the bases that came with it? What rings and bases do y'all like?

What rings and bases do y'all like? Do yourself a faver and get a 1pc Dip Base. Yes the set a little high but you wont have any Scope issues. Ive got it on all my Savages

Where did you get your base from?
