The higher the magnification, the less light gathering the lense will do, so just know that if you have a variable and you are on high magnification, the image will look darker. Also, once you get above 9x you really (IMO) need better glass. So cheap scopes >9x are going to often just suck and not really help you as much beyond 9x
If I am squirrel hunting out at 50 yards, I'm on 9x. If I'm at 25 yards, I'm at like 4x
I tried a frend's modified rem 700 that was wicked accurate. like 1/2MOA or better. Don't remember the magnification but it was fixed magnification. wicked clear optics and I could tell if I was an 1/8 off the bullseye center @ 100 yards. I recall he said it was like a $1000 scope.
22 at 100 yards, wind will be a factor IMO
