Just wondering some opinions on differences between these scopes. I am looking at the 2.5-10X42 Lecia ER and the Schmidt and Bender Classic 3-12X40. While i think I would prefer the 2.5-10 range i am currently leaning toward S&B.

The scope will be going on my new Anschutz 1712 .22lr rifle I will be using it for silhouette shooting and general shooting out to 150 yards and as close as 10 yards.

I do not have any personal experience with either of these scopes so any input would be appreciated especially if there are any differences and maybe which is sharper and brighter.

I've used Lecia geovids, ultravids and televids in the field and I've found the optics exceptional. I haven't yet been able to find one of their rifle scopes to look through, but I'm sure it's no different. The only S&B I've used is a PM II and of course it was impressive. Both brands produce exceptional optics.

I do think both those choice are a little odd though since they both lack a parallax adjustment. (unless I'm mistaken?) For a rimfire it can be a pain in the ass to have a scope permanently set to be parallax free at 150.
 
I have a number of scopes on rim fires and center fire rifles that have parallax adjustments. Since this rifle will be shot offhand I don't need a tack driving target scope, just something bright and clear. I have read some numbers on how far out most scope are at different ranges when they do not have parallax adjustments and if i remember correctly it is way smaller then any group I can hold at 50 yards offhand.

Fair enough, however it wasn't the parallax error I was thinking . I would be more concerned with the reticle not being in focus with the target.
