[QUOTE="engineer40, post: 1086115, member: 90399"] So I've been traveling a lot for work. I finally got these rifles picked up from my FFL on Tuesday. Went out yesterday to shoot and was quite happy so far. Of the 4 new rifles I only brought 1 out because I only had 1 extra scope. Here's the story, I've been wanting a cheap scope that I can have around the house to throw on whatever rifle at whatever time I have a need to. Went off to Amazon, found a $29 scope that had good reviews and purchased. This scope sucks... It's so short and stubby I couldn't even get close to getting the full picture in view. If I stretched my neck out as far as I could, I then would see about 1/3 of the picture through the scope. I should have read the dimensions better before buying. I'll probably return it and get a Tasco or Simmons for this purpose of having a cheap on hand scope to use ad-hoc.
