RE: Need a new scope!!!!
The Bushnell Trophy is a pretty darn good scope for under 100 bucks. There are several more as well. The Swift 3x9 is about 100.00. I have had one of those on my 280 for quite a while. I think any of the fixed power scopes, even the cheaper ones will hold up for quite a while. I would not be at all afraid of the Cabelas Pine Ridge in the fixed power. They will replace any product they sell. Spending 200-300 bucks on a scope don' t mean you won' t have any trouble. Many of the cheaper scopes have held up well for me for many years.
