I've done a lot of research and unless there's a few I'm missing it doesn't seem like there is much out there of good value in AO scopes of 40mm or less that aren't overly long for a 20" barreled 22. The VX-II 3-9x33AO seems lik the closest option but in my opinion Leupold is priced about 40% above value across the board so I'm hesitant to spend the $ they want. I may go back and revisit the Weaver/Nitrex line although from what I recall they are some heavyweights.
