[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1048509, member: 7123"] The answer is no, not for a target/varmint application. I've got a 6-20x44 on one of my .22s!! The answer would be yes if jumping bunny rabbits or squirrels. I've got a 1-4x24 on a huntin .22. The key factor here is having an adjustable objective, not magnification, so that you can eliminate parallax error at close ranges (or most of it). Leupold makes a 6-24x40 VX3 with AO, but it's a $650 scope - what's your budget here? But for shooting targets at any ranges, 50 yards or more, a lot of magnification is a GOOD thing. So is glass quality of course. You got it! :) Well yes and no, mostly no. At 150, you're gonna have a lot of drop and a lot of wind drift, so likely it will be frustrating. At 100, it won't be that hard to hit a 10" target, no. Might quite a fair amount of wind drift and be a little frustrating, but you can hit it most of the time, once you have your drop dope worked out. [/QUOTE]
