So I am now regularly shooting .22 bolt action rifles. I refuse to shoot prone done that wore the T shirt the last time I did that was about fifteen year ago my old bones can not cope with it.
Any way I have been shooting all manner of .22 rifles belonging to other members and each and every one of them assures me there rifle is the dogs danglies and I must have one at all costs. Thumb hole stocks 14" and 16" barrels all kinds of wonder full moderators and lumps of metal to hang on the end to eliminate muzzle flip. So I listened to there advice and bought a CZ 452 20" varmint heavy barreled jobby. I put a bipod on it and shot it off the bench it works fine except and to get to the point the scope on it is crap.
I paid £25 for the scope so you get my drift.
Any way I was told the Hawke 4x16-44 scope was good value for money for a indoor 25 yard jobby so I bought one. I have not fitted it yet. I will only be using it at 25 yards have I wasted my money or are they as good as they say they are in the publicity blurb.
Hawke are one of the better Chinese scopes but, they do put a lot of effort into promotion - and the cost of that goes on the price you pay.
With regard to power, if you're shooting a rested rifle, you can't have too much power - I'm happy with a 32X (Fox 8-32 @ £125) at 25 yds for indoor BR.

You just reminded me I have actually got a fox scope I bought second hand its still in the box in a cuboard I dont think its the model you quote but I thought it would be to big for the .22 I think its a 30mm tube. It might actually be a 4 - 16x50 I should of checked before buying the Hawke.
