Best scope: less than ~$60

RE: Best scope: less than ~$60
termiflyer,
I would recommend a cheap red-dot, either a Bushnell or BSA can be had for $35-55.
I would then suggest a B-Square mount, and Burris Signature Zee rings.
Of course the mount ($45) and the rings ($30) will cost more than the scope, but you won't need to worry about rattles or "loosening" on your shotgun. The B-square also comes with rings, so you could save some dough by skipping the higher quality Burris rings. Can get them all at Natchez shooting supply...

Properly installed, Weaver bases and mounts are as good as any other brand or type. I have used dozens of all of them. Bushnell would be the way to go for a cheaper scope. I like the trophy models at about 100 dollars but I have had no problems with banners either. I have not tried the Sportsman models but if you find a fixed power one with enough eye relief, it should hold up well. I don't care for real cheap variable scopes.

RE: Best scope: less than ~$60
Well, I ended up finding a refurbished Bushnell Trophy (1.75-4) on Ebay for $69. I also bought a $40 B-Square saddle mount w/ 1" rings. All-in-all a little more than I originally planned, but the scope is awesome and i'm very pleased.
My first group was a foot low and a foot right at 50 yards. 96 clicks in each direction and wham, right in the middle.
Thanks for the advice!
