If you can find a sale on the 3x9 VX-1 or discontinued Vari-X II Leupold, you might can get one for under $200. They are just a little over that regularly but well worth the extra. I've just not been able to find any of the lower priced scopes that are clear at dawn and dusk. Middle of the day, they're fine if that's the only timeyou'll be hunting.
