I have a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x 40mm on my 10/22 target rifle. I'll be replacing it with a Falcon Menace 4-14x 44m AO pretty soon.
You can shoot with a centerfire non AO scope, however. Your sight picture has to be the same everytime in order to group. Also I could only get to 6x indoors without it going fuzzy. The bottom line is you want an adustable objective for rimfire. You can make do like I did, but the limitations will tick you off after a while. The Burris is an excellent scope and will be going on a hunting rifle. Which would be more appropriate for it.
I also have a Kimber SVT. I've ordered a Leupold VXIII EFR scope for this rifle. The parallex adjusts down to rimfire ranges with this scope. I'm really looking forward to shooting this set up. Especially indoors during the winter.
