ButchA,
I'd advise youto try to find a Leupold 4x fixed compact or a Leupold 2-7 X 33compact... used. I see them out there, and if you don't mind a scratch or 2 they can be purchased from a gun shop out of the used showcase... the shop owner will often mount it with rings and mounts...bore sight it... for under $150.00, and considering the warranty on Leupolds you could always send it to Oregon for a complete once over..usually at NO CHARGE whatsoever
