Default RE: !x scope ???

These are only listings and not recommendations. The Nikon is only 1X20. There's notvery many full size 1X scopes that are offered.

The best one out there with the best warranty is the Nikon or Burris. I like the Nikon 1x20mm. It is short, great eye relief, and very clear. I also have a T/C on a different rifle, and it too is very good. I think I will buy one of the Tradition models just to see if I can destroy it with recoil, but my money for your rifle would be the Nikon.

I already have traditions scope , but i don't like the small circle in the middle of the cross-hairs .
Shot it a few times and took it off . I guess i also just don't trust a cheap scope , if its going to fail on me , just my luck it will do it whenMr big buck is in my sights . I really like the Nikon , lookedat one a sportsman's warehouse . Have not looked through a Burris scope yet.

I have a Sightron S1 3-9x40 and it is a very clear scope and has taken a lot of punishment and never failed yet. I have not tried one in the 1X power.
