do yourself a big favor and buy a tasco scope its half the money and just as good..plus tasco stands behind thier stuff,,,i would never,,,never pay for a brand name,,just because they got a big price tag dont mean they're any good. a 3x9x40 tasco will run you around 60 bucks and i think you can get rings with em on some deals,,dont forget to put alittle bit of fingernail polish or thred lock on those screws before you tighten them up! they wont loosen that way...
