RE: adequate scope for new ML
I bought a 4 x 32 Simmons Shotgun scope with a diamond reticle at Walmart for 50 some bucks. It is great in lowlight and has a continuous 4 1/2" eye relief. It isa VERY good scope for the money. Actually in my opinion it compares to the lower end "high dollar" scopes, if not better! It has great optics and has the thumb screw adjustments for easy sighting. I honestly believe you can't go wrong this scope for the money.
