I just picked up a Howa 1500 with a fluted varmint barrel in 223 rem. All my scopes have been 10 power or less and am playing with the idea of a fixed power in either 12, 16 or 20x. I will be using this rifle for shooting coyote, ground squirrels and prairie dogs out to 300 yards and paper/steel out to 500. Looking for some suggestions from the target shooting crowd.
