Whats your opinion of what the minimum power scope for 50 yard rimfire benchrest 24x - 36x - more ? Thanks in Advance.
 
My old eyes need a minimum of 36X. I`m currently shooting a 48X, but the higher you go the more mirage comes into play.
 
Minimum depends on conditions. On my three primary scopes, I run 60X if the conditions allow. I have had to go down as low as 20X indoors to battle mirage. Usually outdoors, never less than 40X......usually, but not all ways.
 
My wife and I started out with B&L 24X scopes when we started BR-50, and they were ample.. Now, I shoot 36X scopes and they are plenty good...
