So, I'm looking for a new scope. Please control your laughter, I am using a Barska Swat Tactical 10-40 X 50. It does what I want it to, punches .5 moa at 100 yards an 1 moa at 200 yards.
As it's a a cheap scope I know however it's served me well, I like the ability to see the holes out to 200 yards so I crank the magnification to 40 and then back down to 10. With 10 power I can't see the .223 holes @ 200 yards but once I get beyond 20X I can, thus I am leaning towards a 20X fixed scope. I also plan on getting a spotting scope as well.
So, considering i'm essentially shooting bench rest, what are the down sides to a fixed 20X scope?
