Semi is right about looking at a fixed power scope. If you are budget conscious then you probablty can buy a higher quality fixed power scope instead of a lesser quality variable. What exactly is your budget?? I have seen some pretty good condition fixed 4X Leupolds for about $125 or so. That would get you a great scope with a lifetime warranty that is worth something. The fixed 4X Weaver is also a pretty decent scope. Tom.
