[QUOTE="JakeC, post: 2564348, member: 115819"] I personally like fixed scopes on rimfires. Again, personal taste but I don't have issues with 10x or 12x unless I'm under 25 yards or 50 yards and moving. Swfa basic models are on sale right now apparently and they have great reticles for holding wind and distance like you'll want. Or you can dial them reliably, user's choice. And they have parallax adjustment. A 12x for 200 bucks right now makes me wish I didn't have one already. If you really prefer adjustable I'd check out Burris. Clear and well optioned for the money. They have holdover reticles I love but they are set up for centerfire. You could probably make them work with familiarity though. They have a signature HD model that comes in right at 500 and I really, really like that one but it's SFP so going 15x to use the reticle inside 100 is possibly awkward. They also have a 10x veracity FFP that's coming in right over 500 at the moment. YOu could probably do better on price looking around. I have a 3-15x veracity and I love it, and I got that for around 500 used on here. I'd avoid Leupold for rimfire in that price range. They won't dial worth a squirt and the holdover reticles are bad, hard to use for me and my eyesight is much better than 20/20. They make great glass in the low brackets but you're on your own for drop and wind. The real easy button is Vortex Diamondback tactical 4-16. That's a really good scope. Only vortex under a grand I like looking through. [/QUOTE]
