Ive got a simple cure for this. Save your money. Dont waste it now. Save up and buy a scope that will last you years down the road. I went from a simmons redfield 3x9x32 (hated it) saved up and went to the new VX-III, thats the best thing I have ever done. Now I have a scope I know will last. Your going to buy a $100 scope and be pleased with it for awhile, then later you will have extra money to invest into a better scope and wish you had something to do with that old trashco. Im speaking from experience. You would be happier saving and waiting on that perfect scope
