I'm currently shopping for a .22 rifle to learn shooting with, and I'm considering a Marlin 980. At some point I'll want to get a scope for the rifle, though I'll be starting with the iron sights that come with it. Before I buy it, I want to know if there's a good scope I could buy for it and later use with a 30-06 semi-auto rifle, which I'll eventually buy once I've learned how to aim. I'd be willing to spend money on a scope that would be "overkill" for a cheap starter rifle but just right for a quality 30-06. So my question is, what type of scope would work with both rifles? Also, what kind of base and rings should I get for the Marlin?
I realize this is a noob question, but I'm just starting to learn. Thanks for any tips!
