When you say cheap.. there is cheap and then there is cheap.

The Nikon Pro Staff is a good scope for around $129.00. It has good eye releif, excellent clarity, gathers light well, life time guarantee, and is tuff as nails.

On my Black Diamond XR I use a simple Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn 1.5-4.5x32mm and again, this scope sells for around $69.00. It too has excellent eye relief, excellent clarity, gathers light real well, and so far has taken all the abuse I have handed it and never left zero. The Dusk to Dawn series also come in 3-9x40mm with excellent eye relief as well and again, low priced. In fact one model for those that really want to get away from their scope has a 6" approximate eye relief.

A Sightron S1 is a good scope, but the eye relief has to be watched. As the Millet Buck series, both low prices, both good scopes, but again the eye releif needs to be watched.

So a cheap scope, the Bushnell Banner Dusk to Dawn. A reasonable scope, the Nikon Pro Staff.

I have a 3x9x40 Bushnell Dusk to Dawn with a Circle X on my Omega. I also have the same scope on my 06 and 270. I've never hadany problems with them.

Ihave a Cabela's muzzleloader scope kit (comes with scope, base,and rings)for my Omega. It's a Pine Ridge scope, no problems and very good for only $70.

I agree with Cayugad, I have the nikon prostaff on my omega and it's a great scope for the money...plus the warranty. My dad liked it so much he put on on his 308.

I'll vote for the nikon prostaff. It took a nasty tumble sliding off of shooting table onto concrete.....sighted back in and was good to go.

I started out with a Bushnell Banner 1.5-4.5x32. Bought my first Nikon Pro Staff for my Muzzleloader. Then bought a second Nikon for my 1187 slug gun. No regrets the Nikon is one fine scope.

cheap to one man may be an arm and a leg to another. I was faced with the same dilemma last fall. I went middle of the road for my Omega Z5, Bushnell legend 3.9.40 for $139. No complaints- probably very similar to the Nikon Pro Staff...good luck

I think I might try the bushnell banner dusk till dawn, before I had a $40 Tasco and the reticle was good and the clarity was fine but the scope itself seemed real long and just plain din't fit the gun, there was no way to get the black to disapear and not have your eye right up to it!
