Another What Scope Should I Get Thread?

[LR1955]

I want a good scope for bench shooting, mostly 200yds and got it narrowed down to the Vortex Crossfire 4-16x50(around $280) or the 6-24x50(around $300). My primary reason for these scopes are; 30mm tube, I already have a Larue Mt for it and cost. Plenty of power either way. My question, for the extra $20 I can get the 24x, is that too much power?

Spend the extra $20.00 and get the 24X model. I doubt you will use 24X because it may be a bit too much at 200 but I guarantee you that 6X will be too little. So, you are covered with the 6 - 24 X. I do not think you will like being limited to 16X for your purposes.
