For squirrel and rabbit primarily, 100 yds or less. Going on a CZ 457 22 WMR.

Rings suggestions also welcomed.

Not going cheap

Spend your money at the opthalmologist and use the iron sights.

Who shoots rabbit and squirrel from 100 yards?

You need to be a little more specific on your budget.
I'd tell you that a Nightforce NX8 1-8 x 24 would do everything you'd wish on a rimfire but I don't think you want to spend quite that much on a rimfire scope.

I'd put an LPVO on it, depending on how expensive you want to go. I've got a Vortex Strike Eagle on a .17 that works just fine. PSA has some on sale right now actually. It's not top of the line but for squirrel and rabbit it'll be more than enough.

I highly recommend something with adjustable objective. Close shots will suck otherwise.

3-15 SWFA

The focus goes down to something like 3 meters.

Burris droptine rimfire is the best bang for your buck imo. I have one on my 22 wmr shots on hogs at 100 are easy

One that parallax adjusts down to a very short distance and take the 5 seconds it takes to use it. Hugh difference in accuracy

First off.....you made an excellent choice of firearm. CZ rimfire in my opinion are the best.
Bama&Beer will agree with me on this.


Hundred yard scope can be anything. I use Trijicon, NightForce and Vortex. I also run an ancient Burris on one. Really just go with your preference.

Just reinforcing this because many are recommending scopes without this feature. Super important for small game.

I have that Leupold on one of my .22s. Very, very clear but it doesn’t have adjustable parallax like others have said. 20ft is too close for the scope. Hard to make out the target.

Leupold VX-Freedom 2-7x33
Fixed Parallax-Free Distance: 150 Yards

The OP said his shots would be 100 yards or less, so he'd be giving up accuracy.
