I have now moved to a fixed 16x or 20x for my p-dog town guns, but for many years I used a fixed 10x for the ranges that you are shooting at. You may think that is a load of crap and that is fine, and I do think that the 16 or 20 power is plenty of zoom. I think that anything over that and your not shooting to 1000 yards is over compensation for lack of skill. I shoot prairie dog for practice shooting long rang so I use the same power scope on my prairie dog gun that I do on my long gun. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with a super high power scope I just find it more rewarding using a more mid power scope.

As for fixed vs variable power scopes, they both have their uses. For myself I use a 308 exclusively for distance 100-500 yards no more. My scope is a Tasco SS 16x with mildots held on very securely by Badger rings. This scope will not move on the rifle. Extreme power in a scope can cause you to see the heat rising up from the ground in some cases. Very annoying, lesser power scopes offer bigger field if view and variable allow you to tighten in on a target as you probably know. Scopes are many and varied, each has its own pros and cons, it is said that you get what you pay for, however IMHO find what works best for you and use it. I have used Tasco's and people run them down, Sure the Leupolds, and Nightforce are great glass, but at a cost, which is above my threshold. The SS scope I use is good for me. I recommend you get some information on the Mildot system. And how to judge distance with them could help you with zero. As far as the BSA scope I had one, didn't really care for it either, poor quality, but it was a cheap scope. Used it on a 22 which was OK, but wouldn't use it on anything that was going to take a beating. Sounds like you are pretty well adjusted to your scopes and shooting situations, enjoy and half the fun is learning more about guns and making that once in a lifetime shot and telling about it.
