RE: Scope Power & type
4-16 is wayyy too much for a .22. 3-9X is plenty. 2-7 would be perfect. squirrels and rabbits arent always standing still so you can't have a high powered scope that you can't get on them with. I've killed just as many squirrels with iron sights as with scopes, same with rabbits. i'd take a 4X32 or 2-7 over a 4-16 any day of the week. its just a .22 LR, not a .22-250 or .308
