best .22 squirrel scope under $50

[hunt12ga]

I have a really nice 3-9x40 scope that I was going to use on my new Savage MKII, but I'm going to save it for the big rifle I'm buying soon. I'm going to get something inexpensive for squirrel hunting and plinking. I know you get what you pay for with scopes, but I'd rather keep the extra $ to spend on my centerfire. I've had a few cheap Simmons and Bushnells from WalMart that have served me well for 2-3 seasons. Just wondering if I can do better for the price.

What are some suggestions for a 4x32 or a cheap 3-9?

thanks,
rw

There's an inexpensive Center Point 3-9X32 AO scope with a Duplex mildot reticle that's a really good value. This model doesn't have the electronic lighted reticle built in to raise its price and lower its reliability. This model is included with some of the powerful Crosman spring air guns. Yet it's a lot cheaper than the comparable Bushnell Sportview 3-9X32 AO and has optics that are just as bright and clear.
