Default RE: Anyone happy with a cheap scope?

I really appreciate the recomendations. The simmons I have on there now keeps a solid poi and I have been able to produce 1-1.5 inch groups at 100 yards. That is acceptable to my needs but the eye relief is poor. I can't tell you how many times I have bashed myself in the forehead when I pull the trigger. fortunately it hits me in right on the eyebrow so the bruising doesn't show, only the lump. I think it's pretty clear, it doesn't fog in the rain and it is functional. I just wanted something that was easier to pick up my target in and wouldn't smack my head. I went ahead and orderd a guide gear scope from Sportsman's guide. If I don't like it's performance it will be going back and I will use the money toward a higher end scope. But I will definately let everyone know what I think of it.
