We had a new Dix sporting goods open in town so I went in a purchased a new Leupold VX-1 3-9x40. They had them marked down to 199.00 plus I had a 10% of card from the grand opening so I was out the door for under $200.00. I know it's not their best scope but it should preform a lot better then the $59.00 Traditions scope I've had since the gun was new.
