How much is enough? (magnification)

[tweiss3]

For what you're looking to do any quality mid-range 6.5-20 or 6-24x would be more than adequate. For that magnification range I would highly recommend sticking with scopes priced at $400 and up to assure good clear lenses and quality coatings to get the best performance at the higher settings.

Thanks for the confirmation. I certainly don't see myself trying at 1000, atleast not with this gun or caliber.
