RE: I need a good budget rifle scope.
I think the best bet for you is the Simmons Aetec or Simmons 44Mag. Both are VERY similar, and they used to be $200 scopes. I have seen them all over ebay, and others on the internet for right around $100. I personally own both scopes, and they are NO better than my Leupold or my Nikon Buckmasters. Try them out, you will be satisfied.
