Thanks for the reccomendation.
Absolutely you can hit a 10" plate with 4X. I'm generally a fan of high magnification unless you also want to use it up close and at high speed. If you're only interested in long range, go with higher power. The Millett TRS-1 mentioned by another is a good budget choice. If you want to be able to acquire targets quickly at short range, better not go above 2X on the bottom, and 1.5 X is better.
