I agree with Driftin'... a used four power works great for all around plinking. If it wasn't take-down I'd be leaning more towards a variable just because my eyes aren't as good as they used to be and zooming in for a perfectly placed headshot is satisfying, even before the shot.

I will sum it up to say my .22 PCP air gun has a 4x16 AO Nikon on it... Way overkill for your platform but I think a 2x7 may be useful if your vision is anything like mine.


Good luck Slab- new toys are the best.
