I have been looking at into new scopes lately because I need one for out Marlin .17 and for my Browning 280.

Is the Bushnell Banner a decent scope? I know it is not a high end scope at all, but for all the climbing trees and drives I do, I don't want an $800 scope on my gun. Is the Banner a respectable scope or not? Does it compare to a leupold VX-I at all?

Thanks,
Steve
