I think I'm going to be ill at the thought![:'(] I can't even believe that my wife is related to that thing...er..woman! But your point is well seen.

Anyway, I think I'll probably just go with my original plan and put a Nikon Monarch on it, or maybe a Bushnell 4200 Elite. I'm prepared to spend $500 on the scope, or even a shade more. I think I might try an Aetec on my Savage 10ML-II. It's got a cheapy Bushnell on it right now and I wouldn't mind having better glass on it.

I really appreciate everyones input.
