Some people like to try many different rifles. I am one of them. However I like to try different scopes as well and in doing so, I have found several scopes in the 150-200 dollars that gather plenty of light, Hold their zero and hold up to tough hunting conditions. The Swift Premier. 3200 Bushnel, the VX-l, Nikon Prostaffand Simmons Aetec have performed perfectly over many years. I have also had good service from the straight power Pro-Hunter and Tasco scopes. No cheap variables however. So long as these scopes continue to serve me well, I am sure not going to change.
