[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 3476468, member: 9374"] For starters with a rifle in that range, I think you should be looking at Vortex. Get something medium zoom, say a 3-9 or 4-12. If you are going to be hunting at dusk where light will be waning badly, then an illuminated reticle will help. Larger objective gathers more light, as well. Plan on spending $100-200 on a scope and you will get something basic but very serviceable for what you are planning. Other brands to look at are Burris, Leupold, Athlon and more. A larger tube (24mm, 30mm, 34mm) will allow for more adjustment which will help with longer ranges, but I don't think that's going to be a major factor in your first scope and shooting shorter ranges like you're talking about. Honestly, I think for you a Vortex 3-9 or 4-12 Crossfire II would be about perfect to get your feet wet. [/QUOTE]
