I have a Weaver V24 6-24x on my Cooper 57M sporter and used it today to dispatch a sick racoon at 40 yds. I don't know about this feng shui stuff but a full size .22 can handle a big scope and there are times when the extra X can be nice.
Just an FYI... but cooper57 and I have only known each other for over 4 decades... I doubt anyone here is even in his league at shooting 22lr from a bench...
You have been led to water...
