Most shooting will be 100 yards or less from a rest/ bench with myself and a group of neighbor kids that we take plinking. Nikon Monarch 3-12x42, Nikoplex Weaver Grand Slam 4.5-14x40, Duplex Please understand, I don't know crap about what to get. Fixed power? Adjustable power? Parallax adjustment? Any ideas? Thanks. |

ok old fart! ha ha.... I was at the range yesterdy shooting my 17HMR at 50 and 100 yds. I was using a Redfield Golden 5 Star 4-12X40 AO. I used the 4x at 50 and 7x or 8x at 100! Any higher settings than that and I could see the scope "shaking" By your standards, I'm an old fart too (45) and my eyes aren't the greatest! You really won't need anything more than a good ole 3-9.

have the Bushnell 4200 4-16x40 on my bolt action 22 and is seems to be a good choice.
