I've had a Leupold VX2 Rimfire 3-9x33 EFR on my 22LR for several years. It's a great lightweight little scope. I was thinking about putting it on new lightweight centrefire, but worried that it wouldn't cope with the recoil. I contacted Leupold and they tell me that that there is no difference in the build quality of these scopes compared to other models. The only thing that makes these scopes a rimfire model is the EFR feature (basically AO) which is another win for a bush/bush+ scope. Just posting for reference.
