This is broader forum than rimfire to answer this question. Do you adjust or want to be able to adjust your LOP between different shooting positions? Other than different sized shooters, are butt stock spacers fine, or does a click adjustable setup work much better for you?
 
I find that prone vs standing my sight picture Changes in my scope and if $$$ was not an issue I would get an adjustable stock to do it on the fly
 
Update, I’m using an MDT ACC chassis now with a folding buttstock. The LOP is adjustable via thumb wheel. It makes a difference with lots of time, but for timed stages I set it up for vertical trunk and pull my face back when in a more prow like position.

A scope with a good eye relief and eye box will go along ways to allow easy transitions between weird positions with a static LOP.

As I said before, there is so much more to a scope then what is written on the side of the box... on a video review.

You need to be able to adjust the LOP to have the rifle best fit you, the shooter.

After that, no. I don't recommend changing LOP between positions and stages. No need for click adjustable LOP.
 
Really depends on a few things, what magnification you like to run and how sensitive the eye box on your scope is. In the mag range I generally run (11-16x and 25x for zeroing) I have my scope placed so that I have good eye relief in all position, be it prone or positional with it possibly set to slightly favour prone, as that is where I would conceivably use higher magnification. On a good scope (I use Leupold Mk5 5-25s) the eye box shouldn't be all that finicky when not running at either extreme (ie I run a 5-25 between 11-16). I also run an ACC and just have the butt stock collapsed as short as it will go as that gives me an ideal LOP for being squared up. You'll notice a finicky eye box more on a 1-8 or another LPVO, especially when going from shooting standing squared up at 1x to kneeling supported or prone at 8x.

I’ve been adjusting the various ACC butt pieces lately and ended up setup the same for the same reason. I all probably upgrade the scope next year, but I run the mag about the same and with more time behind I think it will do fine.
