Thanks,

I had looked at MidwayUSA.com, but really wanted to hold the scope and look through it. However, given all the glowing praise for this manufacturer, I plunked down some blow money and orderedup the SII 3-9x42mm Matte finish, along with some Buttler Creek Flip Open Scope Covers.

I'll look on the bright side, it can't be any worse than my P.O.S. Tasco scope.
