Rimfire silhouette scope advice

[Twobucks]

Hoping someone here with some experience with .22 silhouette shooting can offer some advice on a midrange scope to get me started. I know parallax adjustment is important, and accurate tracking and I think something in a 4-16x probably has enough magnification. Ideally I'd like to keep the cost around $300ish.

I don't want it to be too specialized a rig - just something that allows me to get started and grow without needing to upgrade in a years time.

And if I'm just thinking about this all wrong, I'm sure someone can set me straight too.

I used a Leupold fixed 12 power all the time.

i think your on track with your thoughts so far. i am running a weaver on one gun, and old weaver with post in 4x on another one. you're only shooting to 100yds, so you don't need a lot of magnification.
i also found that it is nice to start at lower magnification and work up to more as you improve your hold, lee

Thanks guys - any specific suggestions?

And thanks for the link - I've given that site a pretty good read over the last few days. Loads of good beginner info I can benefit from.

I started with fixed power scopes and still prefer them although I have used variables on my silhouette rifles as well as my 50BR guns
