    Toby, another way of getting more bang for your buck with optics, is to go for a higher quality fixed power scope rather than a poor quality variable.

    Get a mildot reticle, learn how to use it for holdover

    Fixed power will also teach to to get a consistent check weld, they dont tend to have paralax adjustment.

    6x should be good out to further than most people can shoot, and more practical than 10x
