The best bargain I know of for a quality scope is the Weaver Grand Slam series. You can buy a 3-10x40mmfrom http://www.brunoshooters.com for about $250. The Grand Slam's "micro-trac" windage and elevation system is top notch.They are extremely reliable, accurate, and hold zero perfectly.The glass is high quality, and rivals Leupolds. You can also buy their "classic" model for quite a bit less but I don't have any personal experience with those models. I would be more inclined to take a chance on the weaver classic than any of the other scopes in the $100 range.
