I have a tack drivin' Marlin 917VS. I've been using a Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 and it's a great scope, but I need more magnification. It is my rabbit rifle, and I'd like to be able to see them a lot better at 100 yards or so. I've been looking at switching to a Bushnell Banner 6-18x50 or the 6-24x40. I have read that the 6-24 model is not good at the high magnification. I would appreciate feedback from anyone who has tried either one of these or any other recommendations, keeping in mind that I'm on a limited budget (no Leopolds). Thanks.
