If you do not have a lot of cash, buy a Leupold VX-1 for between $170.00-$190.00. Yeah, it's more than $49.99, but you'll be buying another scope soon anyway.
The VX-I is crap... Sorry... No positive click adjustments, no fully multicoating, 3-piece tube. It is more similar to a Bushnell Banner than a Bushnell Elite. I am sick of people raving about the Leupold VX-I the facts are the facts....
