Before we were allowed magnification I used 1x scopes. Its amazing what that aiming point can do for your group size. At 100 yards I would have shot at a deer any day of the week with that 1x scope.

Then I put a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32mm on my Black Diamond. I had no problem hitting a paper plate at 150 yards. 100 would have been a cake walk. But I do admit I like the highest setting for distances over 50 yards.

After more scopes were obtained I could I really like a 2-7x32mm scope. 2x when I am walking in the woods in thickets and the more open I get, the more power I crank. That 7x would do nice field shooting.

I think that scope your looking at would be fine for 100 and more yards.
