[QUOTE="FearNoWind, post: 1028205, member: 50867"] I would probably look at a scope that was adaptable for the next level of rifle they might move to. Selecting a scope with only the .22 in mind might end up being somewhat short sighted, and a variable power scope (e.g 6-9) seems to me to be the center line for magnification. I would also allow them to choose the reticle they prefer; but only after explaining what the differences are. A young shooter might think the reticle looks "cool" but if they have no idea how to use it they could end up disappointed in the long run. Next rifle after the .22 might be a .17 or .223. Fun to shoot, very accurate. They could eventually learn reloading skills with the .223 if that's in the long range plan. [/QUOTE]
