Thanks all. I plan of doing some plinking out to about 75 yard, and also would like to teach my 8 year old to shoot. Your scope ideas all seem within reason and doable.
Tex, Check out the Nikon PROSTAFF 3-9 Rimfire BDC 150. I have had over 100 kids behind my 10/22 plinking targets at different shooting events. Easy to use,clear and makes accurate shots the norm.
I am thinking of maybe a 1-4 scope for an ar15 for mine. I have a folding stock and used an eotech til I recently sold it. I'd prefer some more magnification but I don't want a big ole 40mm scope on it. Any suggestions?
If y'all feel I'm hijacking feel free to delete my post. I figure its on topic and the replies may be helpful for the op.
