RE: What scope would you get for $800.00
brother, get you a cheap BSA or simmions, there is nothing wrong with "cheap" scopes. they work just as good. There is not "flaws" in them. I have a "cheapo" that i've killed all my deer with, and its on a hard recoil type gun. The ole 7mm. Its a 6.5x24 BSA. I just recently bought a 20 dollar NC star, illuminated mil dot rec from CDNN, to pu on my .17 HRM. Ain't nothing wrong with it bro.
