The nikon 3-9 rimfire is discontinued and I’m looking for something to put on my newest squirrel gun. Any one have a recommendation? Something similar to the nikon?
Thanks

Need a scope for my squirrel gun

Clearridge ultra rm. Japanese glass. Good price, adjustable parallax down to 10 yards. I prefer it over my Leupold Freedom rimfire.
I have a Nikon 3x9 BDC rimfire scope if you are interested, it was on my squirrel gun until I sold it.
Literally ANY scope that is mounted correctly is going to work on your .22 for killing squirrels.

Most scopes fpr 22lr have fixed 60yd parallax.
Leopold makes a 3-9 EFR with adjustable parallax.
I have been using one on a Brwoning T-Bolt Target/Varmint and one on an Anshuetz 22 Hornet Mannlicher for decades.
When shooting a squirrel at 20 yds, it’s nice to have a sharp sight picture.
Look for one used on eBay.

VX-Freedom 3-9x33 EFR Fine Duplex
Whether it's for training or just for fun, there's something about shooting rimfire or air rifle that puts a smile on your face, and our VX®-Freedom® 3-9x33mm EFR is purpose-built to get the most out of either one.

Squirrels are best hunted with open sights as the bore and the sight line are much closer together.
But, do as you will.

assuming youre in the ~300-500 price range and want to keep weight down, if you want adjustable parallax theres only a few in that price range.
-leupod makes two. a VX Freedom 4-12x cds with side focus parallax, and a VX Freedom 3-9x with AO as well. these are both moa.
-if you need mrads, the only one afaik, is the Athlon Talos 3-12x40 mrad. all of these weigh around the 12 to 16oz range SFP, some have hash mark/mildot reticles in addition to the regular duplex.
-your options open up a lot of you go to the 4-16x range ofc as theres way more options at this mag range, but they have more weight (usually these are around 18-30+ oz rather than 12-16oz).
if you *dont* want parallax focus theres much more options. although in terms of fixed parallax in a rimfire range, the leupold 3-9x rimfire fixed at 60yds comes to mind. the others are all 100-150yd fixed parallax.

Dammit man, those 52 sporters are too pretty to hunt with. Beautiful rifles. Envious. As for the OP's quest, I like to use a 3-12x or a 4-16x on most of my squack rifles although I am not opposed to irons either. One of the best budget scopes out there today is the Hawke 4-15x-50 SFP illuminated. Another nice glass is the Mueller in 3-9x or 4-16x. They are cheap but have very clear glass and decent turrets for the money. There are better scopes and cheaper scopes out there but both of these are good ones that I would buy again.
I have the Hawke on a CZ452 American and it is one of my best hunting rigs. I have a Zeiss 4-16x on another rifle that is not nearly as clear.

I’ve got 3 of these. Very satisfied. Especially for the money.
Take a look at the Weaver 3-9 rimfire. It also has adjustable parallax, focuses down to to something like 10 yds (don't quote me though, going off memory), and has decent glass. I have one on a CZ FS in .22 mag and like it.
Nice to see Weaver back in the optic business!

Another option is the Clearidge 3-9, its the same scope as the Weaver 3-9 with better turrets. Fine little scopes. Made in Japan.

Too many birthdays make irons a no-go for this grumpy old man. Enjoy yours while you can.Squirrels are best hunted with open sights as the bore and the sight line are much closer together.

Burris 2-7x35 rimfire scope with ballistic plex reticle. Very nice piece of glass and perfect for hunting.
I love the coloring of your stock. scope looks 'classic' as well; that an old weaver?
The ability to use irons left the station a long time ago. Enjoy your young eyes while you still can.Squirrels are best hunted with open sights as the bore and the sight line are much closer together.
