Hey guys this is my first post but I have been lurking a while. Be easy on me. I just bought my first really nice rifle, a AI AE MKIII. Now I'm trying to figure out which scope to buy. I'm thinking after reading so much on here I'm going to get a NF F1 with MLR2. My range only goes to 500yds and they plan on expanding more later. Would it be any better to get the 5.5x22? I am new to scopes but only want to pay once and be done for now. Also what would be a good ammo to practice with? Thanks for any help and I keep reading the pages and pages of topics to learn more!
