[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1173630, member: 50867"] Well, my friend, that's a tall order. "Closer ranges" doesn't tell us much. How "close" did you have in mind? It's a very big stretch from "close" to "up to and over 1800 yards". For up close you might do OK with a modestly priced 9 power scope. For 1800 yards you're looking at a much more expensive proposition. While you might find a fixed magnification scope suitable for "close" I doubt you'd want one for those longer distances you're considering. I'd suggest you do some research on scopes and their design. Learn as much about them as you can and when you've got something more definitive in mind post a question that's a bit less difficult to answer.
