Hi, I am looking into buying a scope and I would like some information and recommendations on scopes, here are my requirements:
1. see a 1" circle @ 100 yards at 'reasonable size' to be able to aim inside (and if possible same requirement @ 200 yards..but I know that's extra money).
2. Good quality/optics.
3. Holds zero.
4. Works well with recoil on 22 LR & 223 rem rifles.
5. Price range (hopefully in the $250 mark - may be able to push it slightly).
6. A totally cosmetic requirement - I hate the looks of scopes that are overly long .. I know it's physics, but I need to draw the line somewhere.
I am not sure if I should even go with variable or fixed magnification, I intend to use it to shoot at distances 25 yards to 100 (and as I said above if the 200 comes as an added bonus that would be nice).
I am a total newbie to scopes, and I found some Leupolds and Nikons with magnifications up to 12x that seem to fit these requirements (am not sure if 12x is sufficient for requirement 1 above though).
Can you guys give me advice or recommendations?
