Then I started looking at perhaps a 4x32 and I'm really wondering if a trip back to the start (my first scope was a Nikon prostaff 4x32 np) is in order and forget the ballistic/mildot reticle, & just go Plex/#4, super simple no frills, no AO, no IR, no zoom, no hassles or distraction.. just a fixed fantastic like on my evo. although that is a 6mag, but I tend to use it in the field more....., mmmmm.
    So who uses 4mag & Plex/#4 ret to great affect in barns, around sheds, above feed pens & surrounding trees from 5-30yrds max on a .22 pcp? Is it worthwhile me going down this route? Or am I hoping for too much?
    Thanks all

    I always use 4 mag for farm yard work.
    My scopes are 3-9x40 and 2-7x32.
    I've considered the Nikon 4X32 for exactly the reasons you are.
    Its a 50 yard parallax and has a duplex ret which should be ok.
    My issue is that I think the turrets are 1 click = 1/4" at 50 yards (not 1/4 MOA at 50 yards) which I don't find adjusts finely enough for me. If you can prove me wrong on that I'll be buying one myself.
