[QUOTE="PrimeTime, post: 1809, member: 54"] I'd have to go with a good used Sendero. For a scope, seriously consider a Weaver Grand Slam or V-series. My main concern with a scope is how well it tracks. Clarity is a distant second. When I put 29 inches on the scope, I want to know that it it moved exactly the right amount. My Leupolds all do a good job of this but they are costly. My last scope purchase was a Weaver Grand Slam 6-20. I have done extensive testing and believe this scope to be one of the best buys on the market. I zeroed it at 100 yards and then shot a 3 shot group. Then turned the scope up 3 inches and shot again. I did this in 3 inch increments all the way up to 30 inches high at 100 yards. Then I did the same thing in reverse, turning the scope back down to zero. It was actually more repeatable than my Leupold 6-18 and just as good as my 8-25 long range model. Every group was right on the money going up and back down. As for clarity, it is actually a bit more clear than the Leupolds. The cost of this scope is $309 from BearBasin.com. Truly a bargain for this price. You could buy a good used rifle and this scope and be under $1000 easily. Good luck [/QUOTE]
