When I got my CZ 452 I put a Sightron 3x9 on it. It is parallax adjusted for 50 yds and has the fine crosshair. No longer in their line of scopes I would look for something similar today. The fine crosshair is more precise for my use which is hunting gophers. For larger vermin I like a dot reticle.
Sorry guys I screwed that last post all up!
I looked at the EFR and the Nikon rimfire scopes. If I have a fixed 50yard parallax (rimfire scope) will I have issues at 100yards? I know the EFR fixes that issue but those crosshairs seem super thin and would maybe wash out in the trees.

Personally, I've never really noticed if the crosshairs get iffy out at distance. If I get a chance after deer, I'll do some checking.

I'd suggest a Mueller APV, either the 4.5-14x40 or the 2-7x32 depending on how much magnification you want. I have the 4.5-14x40 on my Mark II FV that I dropped in a Boyds stock. Even as an iffy marksman by my own admission, I've wrung .6 MOA out of it.

I personally don’t think you will have a problem out to 100rards with parallax set at 50.
Any eye relief or eye box issues? I read a few posts where the eye relief gets a little tight on this scope.
Some years ago I found myself with the same need. Got on ebay and bought a used Simmons .22 Mag. for $18.00. It has worked just fine every since. Never saw the need for mulit-powered glass on my .22, but that's just me. I'm happy with mine you find what makes you happy.

I've heard complaints about that. I don't think it's any worse at the high end than any other higher magnification scope I've looked through.

The Leupold Rimfires are Parallax-free at 60 yards.
This means that at that distance, your scope acts like an aperture sight - cross-hairs anywhere near the middle of the sight and the aim is true.
More or less range - requires more attention to cross-hair/sight alignment.

You can't beat that with a stick! Personally, I prefer fixed powers. I've never used a variable power scope on anything but the lowest power in the field (why pay for a feature I don't use?) And I consider 4X to be about perfect for most hunting -- including squirrel hunting.

I shoot the CMP rimfire sporter game with a Burris 4x AO scope on my 10-22. 4x is enough to see the white 1 3/4" 10 ring at 50 yds through the crosshairs. The 50 yd stages are shot prone and sitting. In prone, the scope halos a little if I'm not careful because I have the scope mounted to be optimized for offhand where my head is backed off the scope a bit more. I shoot in the 570 point range of the 600 point game.
After the match we shoot a 4" gong at 100 yds for a dollar pot. I put the thicker part of the duplex at the bottom of the gong and if there's no wind and I touch the shot off when the crosshairs are there, it'll ring the gong.

That's exactly right -- I used to shoot .22 Metallic Silhouette with my Kimber M82 with a 4X Burris scope -- and that's exactly the sight picture you want for the 100 yard rams.
OHI, I have never had an issue with Nikon's PROSTAFF Target EFR reticle disappearing while squirrel hunting in wooded areas. I zero for 75 yards so my adjustment is about 1.5 high at 50 and 3.5 low at 100. This holdover/under is easy with this scope. I shoot suppressed supersonics too.

75 yards is ideal for a .22, especially for squirrel hunting. By coincidence, if you zero dead-on at 50 feet, you'll be on at 75 yards. And with a traditional dual-X crosshair arrangement, the bullet will impact at the top of the thick crosshair at 100 yards.
