Funny you should say that. The 1.5x4.5x33 scope I put on the MR is a Bushnell Banner. It cost me $69. It has very clear glass, good at low light, and holds a zero. Plus, it just weighs 10oz. I know it's a low end scope, but it sure gives me everything I need in a scope.
A perfect timber hunting scope for those with skinny wallets.
I paid almost as much for the DNZ scope mount.
