Great points discussed guys! Yes in thinking about it, in the long run and for my own self-improvement in the mechanics of shooting and getting the basics of adjusting down I've pulled trigger on the; Leupold VX-2 6-18x40mm AO. reason being apart from it being a great scope (albeit without BDC) I got it for an amazing price! Since I have a fellow shooter mate (more seasoned though) who suffers from the unfortunate (or rather fortunate for me) tendency to buy/change/splash out for the latest and greatest every so often, so he offered me the Leupold that he'd only had for a couple of months!

Good get. Hope it works out well for you. Will def get you going and you can take your time if and when you decide to upgrade when you will have a better idea exactly what is going to suit your style of shooting.
