I don't know much about scopes at all. I understand magnification power, fixed vs. variable, and objective size lenses. What I don't understand is what makes a scope a good buy, and what makes a scope somthing I should avoid.
If I wanted a decent, rugged, medium power, fixed magnification scope. Something not fancy, in other words, but also a scope that I can use on a variety of rifles if I choose to (including centerfire and rimfire). What would be the minimum price of something like that? Can I get by with less than $100?
I happen to have a Bushnell rimfire scope that came as a package deal with an auto-loader .22. I'm not 100% sure but I would guess that it's a 4x 32mm fixed power. Is this a good scope? I know it's not a good choice for shooting centerfires out to 700 yards. But just for 100 yard plinking with a .22, will I need something better?
