here we go again...
I got a cheap ($55 or so at Wal mart) 3-9x40 simmons on my rifle. Got it cause I cant afford mucxh, and it SO FAR has been a good scope. But I believe the general consensus here will be to save your money for a better model. I am planning to set $$ back just in case I need to replace mine, but since I shot 1 inch groups with it out of a sporterized military 30-06 this weekend, factory ammo, rem 150gr core lokt, I plan to keep it till it breaks!

Just my uneducated opinion!
