Well this may sound out of the ordinary, but its worth it to you to check it out I think. I shoot a LOT long distance and my scope of choice is the ATN 6-18x65LU Day/Evening Scope. (
www.atncorp.com) For the money (350.00 new through an E-bay seller I know.....550.00 new from ATN's website) I dont think there is a better scope out there. Not from Leupold or Burris or anyone else. *ducking all the debris from the name brand fans* yes, I know it is a little more than the 150.00 to 200.00 you were talkin about, but like the other posts said....what good is a sniper rifle if you can't see/hit your target??!!
