[QUOTE="Kennibear, post: 950891, member: 51650"] I have a Leupold VX1 3-9X40 on my 375 Ruger and it is a fine scope. Found it on sale at the local Sportsman's Warehouse for $250 out the door in silver. There are a lot of first gen variable scope (around 3X increase in power) for under $300. Leupold, Burris, Redfield, Weaver and Nikon come to mind. Just mounted a Nikon 2-7X32 on eldest son's Trapper M94 and it appears to be quality but have not shot it yet. It is not a LR scope but a lot better than iron sights. I am curious about the Minox as it is Schott glass from Europe and assembled by Leupold in Oregon. They have some useful models but not really LR stuff last time I looked. They made some top quality cameras back in the day. If you are stuck with $150 at the top side I would go with a Nikon as they go on sale at Midway all the time. Natchez has refurbished Nikons right now for cheap so you might save some $. I wouldn't expect the turret adjustments to be accurate or durable at this price point however. You will be stuck with set it and forget it adjustments and have to use Kentucky W & E for ranging.
