Scope Research overload... need help

We need some more info, Bear.

What kind of shooting are you planning to do? Ranges? Target sizes? Do you want to dial for elevation, or will you be holding over or shooting at point blank range? How much magnification do you want? Variable or fixed power? MOA or milrads?

Kind of shooting: General plinking and hopefully some small game hunting.
Ranges: 150 yrds and below?...
Target size: 1 inch block up to a rabbit?..
Dial for Elavation:... not sure, I've always held over cause I never understood "turn three clicks for 3 feet up" or whatever.
Magnification: From what I've read 9x and below with 4/5x being the "sweet spot".
Var or Fixed: I think var power would be nice... but then we worry about parralax right?
MOA/mil: I think I would prefer MOA... though mil dots seem easier to range off of...

Thoughts?
