Default Scope question??

Where can I find a good quality 2.5x scope? Regular eye relief, not too high priced? Whatever happened to the good ole weaver k2.5?? Thanks, any help will be appreciated!!!

I've got a BSA 2.5 x 20 on my inline and it seems to be good. Not the best for sure, but it works well enough.
I found a Leupold on the web that should be good quality...

this is at http://www.natchezss.comand is a BSA shotgun scope so it should have good eye releif. I've never used one. For that price I might get one and throw it on a rifle..

They are still around. I have two of them and they are good scopes.

I've had 2 different BSA scopes and was pleasently surprised by both. They areservicable optics. I didn't expect the first one to last through a few range sessions, but I shot it for 2 years without issue. I sold it with the rifle and, last I heard, it was still ticking.

thanks you gentlemen 11 I am heading north for turkeys and steelhead later this wk. Going right by a weaver dealer, thanks to falcon! I have had weavers in the past w/good success! Just couldn't seem to find one on the puter. My skills as a puter oper leave a lot to be desired!

I've scoped my ML's with a Bushnell 4x for years and have never had a problem. Very inexpensive and the pounding has never shaken them loose. May be an option to consider.
