I have always had good fortune with Simmons on a Rimfire. I favor a 40mm objective to gather light at dawn & dusk, but I also have a couple of rifles wit 32mm objectives. When I am hunting, I normally have a scope set on about half it possible magnification. When I am. Looking for a squirrel on a tree, I then crank it up to max magnification to help spot ears and eyes.

Maybe that’s why you haven’t seen any squirrels. You’re using the wrong magnification.
