    Recently went through this same drill for my M&P 15 22. Didn't want to sink a lot of money in to the scope, since I would be replacing it with a SWFA 1-6x. Rifle's purpose was primarily as a training tool.

    Another good option is the Vortex Diamondback line. Doubt parallax will be much of an issue given your targets and ranges.

I'm a huge advocate for the cry once principle, but in this case and for what you are using it for, just put a basic $50 4x on it and shoot the piss out of it. You will be fine.
    SA Friday, I am of the same mind on teh buy once, cry once philosophy. That being said, I'm never sure what exactly I'll be doing with the .22lr. It is a semi-auto configuration, so I know I'll never be "top shot" doing benchrest competitions or whatever. However, I would like the ability to shoot at those ranges if need be or it's desired. That being said, I have been looking a lot at the 3-9x scopes... lots of options... whew...

    I saw that 3-9x Vortext Diamondback at a store recently, it did pique my curiosity...

    Still looking, thanks...
