Ok check it out.. I am a Newb.. damn i hate saying that.. But any how.. I a setting up a .22 sniper rifle for ground hogs ect.. I a trying to figure out what the best scope to put on it.. I am kinda new at in the sniper scene.. So if i call something incorrectly please don't Bash.. Just correct me.. I want a scope that i can see a flea on a ground hog or rabbit. from lets say 50-100yards...
 
Re: scope questions

Firstly, the correct term would be varmint rifle, not sniper rifle. Secondly you don't really have to see the flea on a groundhog's back to put one in its face from 50 to 100 yards, hell just about any 3-9X scope from Vortex, Nikon, Bushnell, Burris, etc.. will fit the bill. Without knowing anything other than you want to shoot groundhogs and rabbits with it, it's a little hard to give further scope recommendations.
 
Re: scope questions

I have a bushnell 3-9 now.. but i wanna try to find one that i can get in closer.. See we also put shot shells on the end of sticks and shoot at them from ruffly 50-100 yards also.. The flea example was to try to describe small targets...
