RE: browning scopes
They have stopped making them for a reason. Not sure what it is for sure, but generally it's because it isn't selling. Things generally don't sell because they are not well made. I would use caution. Browning makes fine firearms, but I am hesitant to use a scope with their name on it. If you want a scope, stick to a company that makes scopes.
just my $.02
Good Luck
