Rifle Scopes Glass for an old Remington 541s?

[hydro556]

I have a really nice Remington 541s, made in 1972. I recently acquired it from an older gentleman in NY. When I bought it, I asked him if he had any appropriate glass for it, that is both compact and has good glass. He mentioned that he had an older Leupold Vari-X compact 3-9x33.

When I got it, I was pleased with the scope for what I paid, but it is not really appropriate for the 22lr. It has fixed parallax, and that doesnt help.

I want something with the same footprint. A 1" tube (because thats what rings I now have) 3-9 range, and a 33 or 40 mm objective. But I want adjustable parallax, and wouldnt mind stepping up the Leupold line to get one of their higher end optics.

I have paid zero attention to this type of glass for a long time so I dont really know what are the old standby's or what may have recently released that is considered a great rimfire optic. Something from Leupold or Vortex would be great, but I am open to any decent values. What do you guys think I should be looking at?

Leupold 3-9x33 E.F.R or the 4.5-14x40 AO (my favorite) are hard to beat for a nice sporting rimfire rifle. If you like to dial for shots you can buy either one with the CDS system.

Ill suggest one also . I have this on my CZ/22 lr.
Leupold var-x 3,4.5-14x40,(long range).I like the side parallax adjustment turrent.I think its a 30 mm tube.
