If you plan to use this rifle as a hunting rifle, and occasionally use it for some long range targets, I would recommend something in the 4-16 , 4-20 range. For my hunting rifles I like the low end of 4 power, for low light and moving shots. 16-20 on the high end will be enough to hit steel at 1000. For dedicated long range target rifle, the more power the better.
