what power scope

[bluedeer]

we are shooting baloons at 500meters at my club,benchrest style.I/m thinking a 6x24 variable would be best as the mirage gets pretty heavy sometimes.I was thinking of keeping it on 24x then when mirage gets heavy turn it to 14x.what say ye? The baloons are 5 in. diameter.also should I get a mildot or duplex?Many thanks.

You are on the correct road. The smallest I'd go is a 6-18X. I wouldn't go over 25X as the field of view drops off fast. I like the duplex. The target dot is OK as long as it doen't cover up what your shootin at. Leupold makes some nice scopes. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
