Default RE: scopes

I tried a 1x4.5 for awhile, convinced myself that was all I needed for a ML - well, I have long since switched over to 3x9x40's. Another thing I convinced myself I really do not need to pay the Leupolds price. There really are a lot of good less expensive scopes out there.

On my ML's I have Bushenell 3200's with rain guard lens - they are great, but you can not get them with a mil-dot reticle. I kinda hate to admit this but I have an A&H with a cheap World Class - TASCO with a mil-dot - $40.00 scope. I have had it on for 3 years now and I have even but two other scopes to replace it with - but the darn thing just keeps on working.

Other scopes you might look at - Cayugad's Dawn to Dusk - but I personally would go to the Bushnell "Trophy" it is one scope up in quality performs really well, again with a mil-dot reticle.

The next scope I personally am going to buy is Burris Fullfield - 3x9x40 with the B-Plex reticle - I haven't got a gun to put it on - maybe it will be so good that I can shed the Tasco.

Another scope that has drawn some attention is the Simmons Aetec (2.8x10x44) - I have not personally checked this one out but there have been several recommendatios for this scope on another board...

Hey! what ever you do good luck
