Re: noob question on power
Really depends on the Optics, the better the Optics the lower the power needs to be. But as a general rule 1 x 100 is a good start. If your trying to benchrest you might want to look for more power, 22-25+ power for 1000 isn't uncommon.

Re: noob question on power
Once you really get to shooting you'll start to develop preferences. Things like max power on scopes can be a subjective thing. 12X on a high end is enough to see targets way out there where as 20X on a POS you may not see well very far. Everybody is different and sees things differently, get behind as many as you can and see for yourself.

thanks guys....Will be getting the rifle next month. Not sure when I will get the glass. It will be a mid grade scope at first.
