RE: best scope
I think you are better off spending more on a good scope. Most of the scopes for $100 are junk. They may last 4 or 5 years but if you shoot it much you will have to buy another one. I had a tasco world class plus 3-9-9x44 for 5 seasons on my .270. I loved it.. it was always on.. then this past august I missed a pig at 35 yards.. I went to the range.. and at 50 yards I was getting a 7 inch group. That was $125 waisted in my opinion. I wished I would have bought a good on in the first place. You can get nikon buckmaster for 200 or even a leopold rifleman for 200 at walmart. Both have lifetime waranty.
Im just glad that I learned that my POS tasco went bad before deer season.
