Scope with parallax adjustements
- Thread starter SPACEFORCE
- Start date
If you're going to keep it on a rimfire, why don't you look at those aftermarket Leupolds or something similar on Amazon and a few other sites??
I've mounted a few of those on 22rimfire rifles and they stand up just fine.
I know they're built for airsoft clones, but as long as you don't shift them to a rifle that produces more than five pounds of recoil, they stand up well.
Many of those scopes come with side-adjustable focus/parallax.
These gems run under $200 delivered to your door.
Again, don't use them on anything else.
I had one on a 223rem, Varmint rifle and it lasted three seasons, without a flaw. Everything functioned properly. The only thing about was the focus needed to be adjusted for most differences, even minor ones, but especially up close.

Check Bushnell in the Trophy line. Might have what you're looking for.
Stubblejumper has a point. 'Most' rimfire scopes are 'low-magnification' and so OK for 'hunting' but if you want target shooting scopes, I'd go for the most mag you can find/afford. I personally prefer scopes with numbered 'bars' (MOA or MIL) so I can make 'quick holdovers' for changing distances/winds w/o having to move the zeroed reticle. I bought a Bushnell Engage (6-18x50 FFP)when I first got a $$$ scope for rimfire, but soon moved to one with numbers on the bars. Used name brand scope would fit your price range.

No most rimfire scopes are built with a shorter set parallex, and not as robust due to the lower recoil. Don't need to handle as much Gs as something with higher recoil.
Like spring rated Airguns, they destroy scopes due to their forward recoil, so there are scopes built to handle that.
The OP is looking for adjustable parallax, so there is no fixed parallax. There is zero disadvantage to using a scope not designated rimfire, if it has adjustable parallax.

I'm well aware, I'm just commenting on the whole rimfire just = low mag, when it's not true.
Hawke is a brand I'd consider. Sightron the other. I got a bunch of old Tasco AO. I'm probably gonna replace my 8-32x44 Tasco AO with a fixed Luepold 24x.
OP never really told us his purpose.
Purpose... main purpose is target shooting out to about 300 feet max with the option for hunting around half of that distance.

HAWKE 3-12 would work well.
The OP should keep in mind that adjustable parallax scopes differ in terms of the closest distance to which they can be adjusted. Some go down to about 10 yards/meters, others only to 40 or 50. That can make a difference to rimfire shooters.

Too bad Nikon is out of the scope game, I’ve got a nice 3-9x40 rimfire scope that has an AO. Only has a fine cross hair, no bdc or hash marks for reticle. Great for hunting or target shooting to 100m or so. Nothing to use as holdovers with the exception of where the thin crosshair gets thicker. Was around $250 when I bought it, great glass for the money. I’ve shot a fair bit of rabbits with it from 10-50m, Nikon Prostaff Rimfire EFR is the model.
I too have been looking at (high-magnification) options in and about that price range.
I've received a number of recommendations for the Riton X1 Conquer which can be found for about $270 right now, as well as the Athlon Talos 6-24 which I've seen as low as $320.

"Meroh" here has a recent thread on the6-24x50mm Riton X1 Conqour (sp?) With R3 reticle.i also got one after his thread and would buy again. I also have the Sightron S1H mentioned...which i would also buy again (still have it).
