I have a Bushnell, it is okay for on the range. It isn't much for in the field but it would be okay for you on the shooting bench.
Bushnell is the 50 power ok or get 60 ? should i get 18-32 or 12-36 ?
When I go to the store i will check them out but right now i have no clue

For 100-200 yards your scope might work especially if you get the shoot-n-see targets. Usually you regret buying cheap optics and end up buying the good ones after dealing with all the frustrations that cheap optics bring.
My advice would be to bank the 150 bucks now and save for a decent spotting scope. You will appreciate it more, especially after walking up and down the range a bunch, and you will have invested wisely in a spotting scope that will give a lifetime of good service.
ps I believe that the power is the 18-32 number
(magnification) and the 50 and 60 are the diameter of the objective.
I have a simmons 20-60X60 and it is awesome it came with a case, table tripod, and camera adapter all for $40 after rebate.
