Hi, folks. I've been lurking here for a while and just registered. Since I retired a few months ago, I've decided I need to expand my shooting hobby a little. I picked up a used Pardner 12 Gauge a couple of months ago and have just put in an order for a new Ultra Hunter 25-06. I plan on getting into reloading as well since I have an abundance of time during these winter months when it's too cold to ride my motorcycle.
My question concerns what scope to put on this new rifle. At present, I plan on restricting my shooting to paper with a maximum range of 200 yards or so. Perhaps later I may give the local crow population a try.
I've got a Tasco World Class 36x44 sitting on the shelf that I could use, but I think this may be a little too much. I could take a 4x16x40 scope off a Romanian Cugir single shot .22 that I don't shoot much any more. That seems more like what I need. So, what do you think? The big honker or the variable?
Thanks,
MOPLS
