    Shooting a really high power scope - like a 20X - offhand is hard due to the wobble factor. For me at least . For .22 rf ranges a 3-9 or 4-12 is perfectly adequate without being overly technical.

    I prefer a 2-7 or 3-9 on a .22 as the low mag end is great for possums and the higher end is great for head shooting rabbits 50-65m out.

    270 is a good choice too. Seems that at present a second hand 270 will often sell for less than the equivalent rifle in 308. I am guessing that perhaps the 270 buyers are buying 6.5 prc ? Anyway...
