Recommend A Quality Rimfire scope

[Bapu]

Looking for a quality rimfire scope for my Remington 521 custom sporter.
All suggestions are welcomed.
Thank you.

Purpose of the rifle?
target shooting, small game hunting, plinking, long range shooting 200 meters or more, training?

I used to look for rimfire scopes. Now that I shoot a lot of rimfire I just put a quality scope on my rimfires.
Look at the application and on what the scope needs to do and get the best one for the job you are willing to pay for. I think rimfire scopes were once a thing more because they came with the narrow rail rings that most rimfire rifles used to come with. Now, just order the rings separately.

I normally see custom sporter associated with 541. Not sure how a scope mounts on the 521 as those have pretty cool dedicated adjustable target sights.

The purpose is small game hunting mainly birds and small animals.

Sorry it’s a 541.

Looking at a duplex reticle not fine to be honest as am from the old school.

Have somehow managed to even crack the rosewood butt plate. Any leads where I could get one.
Thanks.

Clayton used to send 4-12 AO leupolds to the factory and they would set the parallax for a rimfire, they are great scopes, I have one on a CZ 452

Leupold makes a very nice 2x7 rimfire scope. Unless you are doing serious competitive target shooting I can't imagine a better choice.

Just mounted a March Genesis on my Rim-X. Have been happy with it. This is the 4th scope I have had on it. It did have a NX8 4X32, Razor Gen II 4.5X27, and a Razor Gen III 6x36. The March was used for the first time in a competition this weekend. Glass was worth the price of admission.

Don’t know if they would set parallax today as they are very busy.

Yes this scope I am considering.

Yes this scope I am considering.

I also have the Leupold 4x rimfire on my Ruger 77/22. Looks and performs perfectly for 20 years now. Top gun in the below picture. Has about 20K rounds through it as set up in picture.

Leupold 3-9 rimfire !

 

[Tra3]

I use an older swaro 3-9x on my .22. It is a robust scope and works fine for small game.

Unfortunately they don’t have the butt plate. Looking difficult some how.

Unfortunately they don’t have a Rosewood butt plate which came with the rifle originally.
Any other source.
Thank you

All my rimfires have leupold 3-9 rimfires. I had the 2-7 and found myself not using the gun partly because of the scope. The scope is always dialed to 9 !
I believe the use of a rimfire scope is important because it has a closer focus for critters under 100 yards. In my case it is gophers . LOTS of gophers

I use regular "centerfire" scopes on my .22's. The optics on most rimfire scopes have been awful in my experience with equally bad mounts.

My suppressed S&W M&P 15-22 carries a 30 mm Trjicon, and my most accurate, a Russian biathlon rifle, carries a 30mm Leupold VX6. It, by the way, is squirrel sniping perfection out to seventy yards or so.

Im the same.. Mine wear standard 3-9x centerfire scopes (leupold), with the exception of a 10/22 where I've mounted an aimpoint...

I use quality centerfire scopes that you can adjust the parallax down to 15 or so yards out to infinity.
