The Vortex price point is so attractive, but it looks like the Leupold has even more impressive eye relief over the Vortex. Comes down to whether I think it's worth the extra cost...
Or I could always go a step up to the 4-12X40 to give myself a little more headroom, should I ever need it?

Leopold have the best warranty, they stand by theirproduct

It was firmly affixed to said rifle and still is. I know a lot of shooters prefer variables but somehow this little item suits my style down to the ground.

On my hunting 22 rifles I have all different brand scopes. Mostly 3-9 or 4-12.
For plinking I use a more powerful scope so I can see the holes out to 100 meters. Zeiss conquest 3-15x50
I have used fixed 4x or 6x for hunting rabbits and fox in the past for up close, with no problems.
I agree with Leupold as they have a really good warranty and can be repaired in QLD quite quickly if the worst happens.

3-9x40 are the go.
But I wouldn't get one with parallax adjustment again.

Why do you say that you wouldn't get parallax adjustment? I thought with shorter range it was more important than longer range-difference between 30 and 50 is similar to difference between 100 and 250m, or that type of thing. I thought.
Asking because I've been looking at various scopes and most scopes (bar the rimfire ones) are fixed at 100m and I thought that would make a big impact on shorter range stuff with 22

Cheers mate. I'm still tossing up between Leupold VX Freedom 3-9X40 with Rimfire MOA reticle or 4-12X40 TRI MOA reticle

PITA. For most not required. I've now just got mine set at 100 mtrs and don't touch it.

I’d probably opt for a duplex reticle over the tri moa on a rimfire though, simple and you probably won’t need the extra hash marks for the .22 distances you might be shooting.
