RE: Scope advice for a newbie.
I have a 45cal. with the pine ridge scope on it
and it has worked well for me. So like they say
if it ain't broke don't fix it. The banner is a good
scope, I've been doing some searching myself for
another scope for my Omega. And you might be
able to find a good deal on a Sightron scope.
Just my opnion. Good shooting.
