ORIGINAL: skeeter 7MM

1 piece tube design, rainguard, Water proof, multi-coated & lifetime transferable warranty all for 200 dollars! IMO this represent a great value for the money in optics on todays market. Eye relief, weight and styling are slight draw backs. Not sure what cartridge of gun you plan on topping it with but as long as it ain't a big mag the eye relief the elite affords should be adequate. I have owned a few and never caused me any problems.

Another to consider would be Sightron, as I have heard similar claims about their scopes as well.
