RE: fair priced scope
I've got two Simmons Aetec scopes in 3.8-12 power and love them. I bought one for my .300 Win and liked it so much that I bought another for my .308. I've been able to pick them up for about 150.00. I had an old Redfield widefield 3x9 on my .300 Win (which is a good scope)but this Aetec beats it hands down. The redfield is going to be put on my .300 Savage.
