Sounds like the farm is going to be even more fun to go visit now!
Great information and suggestions from the folks who responded too.
The only thing I would add is that the crosshairs on a second focal plane scope remain the same at any power, while the crosshairs on a first focal plane scope will look thicker as you focus on closer stuff.
I’m a dummy and can’t really explain it clearly but I prefer the second focal plane scopes because I like the crosshairs to be as thin as possible.
And as far as caliber goes I would choose .177 because you will get twice as many shots for the same cost.
I wish I could have been a kid coming to visit your farm!! Have fun and please post pictures.
