Just picked up a Savage FV-SR for a quite good price especially when adding in the currently offered factory rebate. This rifle will require my first foray into optics. Now the question is which scope category would be best suited considering...
I really don't expect a 22LR to be practical beyond 100yds and assume most targets of opportunity will be in the 25yd-75yd range. There seems to be many that will mount a 3-9 or 4x fixed but I envision these as possibly offering limitations in field-of-view for up-close work. Might I be selling short the flexibility these could offer? My latest leaning is towards a decent but value priced 2x7 which hopefully could offer the sweet spot I'm looking for -- Maybe a Vortex 2x7x32 Rimfire or Weaver RV7?
Also, how important is tube and objective diameter when shooting overcast/dusk conditions?
Appreciate some schooling.
