I read all the threads and made a thread. Everyone always says to buy a scope for no less then $150, which I do agree with. But my problem is, even at good times I can't even afford cheap $50 scope (wife does the budget). It is great that yall gave me ideas for what type of scopes I may get a few years down the road. Also I did not pay over $300 for any of the rifles I own so I can't see putting a $200 - $300 scope on one of them. My point is, there has to be some desent brands of scopes out there for people like me who have a very tight budget.
