What do you consider "cheap" or inexpensive?

Bushnell or Tasco World Class would probably be your best bet for under $50.00.

cheap good [:-]
Those 2 words don't generally go together in the same sentence, especially when you're talking about optics!

50 dollars is a little impracticle... If you want to try around 100 dollars you should look at the Simmons Aetec, The Simmons 44 mag runs around 20 dollars cheaper, but the Aetec is MUCH better. Natchez sometimes has the scopes refurbished and you can get a deal.

The cheapest scope I would recommend is the Nikon Prostaff. $150.00 at Wal-Mart. A lot of scope for the money.

The Bushnell Banner is a decent scope for the money, though it may cost you a little more than $50. You can pick one up for under $70.

This site has some really nice prices on a lot of other scopes also.

I just purchased a Banner for my muzzleloader and I am happy with it so far.

Good Luck

You can also look at the Bushnell 3-9 Trophy for under $100 and that’s a pretty good scope.
