ORIGINAL: Bugflipper

Alright gents help me out please. The rifle is a 10-22 with hogue overmolded stock, green mountain barrel and volq hammer. It has wore a tasco 6-24x40 for 10 years or so. I started using it for rabbits so the 6x was too much. Currently it's wearing an old millet dot sight. That isn't enough power for the further squirrels. So let's say a 2-7, 3-9, 4-12 or 4-16x with a $150 cap. What power and brand would you recommend?

Blessings
