I am building my 22 trainer rifle I just plan on shooting birds and varmints and paper would you guys suggest I go with an swfa 20x or leupold vxii 3-9x40
Yep, but I think you'll find it to be a little too high for general use. Most guys comfortably shoot out to 1000yds with a 10x, and on a .22LR that'll get out to 300yds at the very most, 20x seems to be a little overkill. If you're all about the paper punching game 20x would probably be just fine. This is just my personal opinion. Whatever floats your boat
I had a couple 10x on some 1022s. They worked great. I sold them to fund the new mil swfa scopes (the ss resale is better to). The 1022s now have the weaver 3-10 mil scopes on them. When I shoot at 25ys, I adjust it down to 5 or less. I use them for fun.
