I am looking to ditch my Elite Vairable 6-24x for a fixed. Its a great scope, no issues I just want to go back to my roots. I feel getting use to 1 power and not having to fiddle around with things (because its there) simplfies things and makes you a better shooter, one less thing to think about. I maybe crazy but thats what I want to do.
Its going on a fancy PCP .22 air gun and maybe a .22 rimfire. Either way I doubt any shots will be over 100 yards most 60 or less. I only use 24x target shooting on smaller than dime targets and even then its just to see the group, I really don't need it.
So I want to get SWFA SS 10x42 or 6x version.
I am leaning to 6x but wanted to hear from the pros here. Maybe I am overlooking something, maybe one of you has both 6x and 10x fixed and prefers one over the other.
The specs say it weighs 21 OZ. my gun is like 6.5 pounds. Is that heavy for a scope?
Thanks!
