[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 225675, member: 8947"] Consider used for the best value for your limited funds. A used Bushnell Scopechief circa the 80's were made in Japan, have superb optics and track well. I bet you can find them at a gun show for $50 for a fixed 4X or 6X. I would shy away from the variables as they were still sorting out the mag change POI thing. Bausch&Lomb Balvars are even better but you might have to dig deep for an extra $50 to 100. Again fixed powers unless it is an Elite 4000. These I have used and know work great. Of course, there are VXIII/M8 Leupolds. A fixed 6X would like be in the $200ish range used. A great scope. For new, the Burris Fullfield seems to do very well for MANY owners. Ebay should be under $200 new. Nikon Buckmasters and Elite 3200's are superb buys for a few dollars more. A scope you don't trust or doesn't hold zero is the most expensive scope you can buy. There are so many alternatives for your money that it doesn't pay to penny pinch. Jerry [/QUOTE]
