Greetings,
I had posted this on another site and got some great answers.
Figured I'd run a similar question here...
Long story short...
I took a trip to the range this past weekend and had the opportunity to try out a "USBR" target at 25 yards for the first time. I had My 10/22 (Wal-Mart special, S.S. 22 inch barrel, etc.) with me, but a gentleman at the range let me use his tricked out 10/22 (He's the one that introduced me to this whole USBR mess ).
It was great and now I'm looking for a scope. I'm working on a budget of about $100.00. The scope on the rifle I used was a Tasco 6-24 type. Beyond that, I don't know exactly what model it was.
As far as the Tasco's go, I'm looking at their "VAR624X42M" model shown here: http://www.midwayusa.com/eproductpage.exe/showproduct?saleitemid=156666&t=11082005
And the "TG624X44DS" shown here:

I need to learn a lot about optics and am wondering about the 1/4 & 1/8 MOA difference in scopes. Based on the type of 10/22 I have, is it that much of a difference when all is said and done? Scope wise, am I looking in the right direction? Is this "too much" scope? Anything I should know about? Is there another brand/type in my price range I should also look into? I'm pretty much lost in the woods when it comes to this area of firearms and the shooting sports. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
In addition, some people suggested the "Mueller APV" scope. They had some great things to say about it. Found one here, seems like a good deal:

Oh, before I forget. I'll be using this at 25 & 50 yards (yeah, that's pretty much a given with the .22 LR), but I'd like to try it out at a hundred for smiles now and then.
