plus one on the the bushnell, checked one out at the range a fellow shooter had, was quite impressed.
Mueller APV 4.5-14x40AO gets my vote, and is recommended by a lot of rimfire shooters. Hard to beat for the price too, if you order from Mizzou Mule Guns...
I have a 5-15x50 Bushnell Elite 3200 on my .17 hmr and I love it. Wonderful clarity, quality, and a rain guard that comes in handy. If you are looking for something less expensive I'd go with a 6-24x40 Bushnell Banner. That's what I had before I got the Elite and I really liked that one as well. Able Ammo has them for pretty decent pricing.
I have heard good things about the Clearridge scopes on rimfirecentral. http://www.clearidgeoptics.com/
They are comig out with a 3x9x32 MIL DOT in January.
