hey thanks for the input guys! I had to laugh at myself though, as i said, im new to shooting, and when i said price wasnt an issue, i didnt realize that there were this caliber of scopes out there!! WOW!! So.... after looking at the prices for the ones shared, i decided i probably dont need the best one available, i dont really wanna spend more on the scope than the gun! So is there some other options that are maybe a little bit cheaper?
