Hi Im looking at getting a half decent scope roughly under $100 in 3x9. Any body have good places/online/stores to go to ? Also I dont want to buy one for each individual gun so Im wondering do people swap out scopes on one gun to another ? Yes I know this isnt in the optic section but I asked one in that section recently and no one replied. Figure Id have better luck here. Thanks
Best online shop or store for rifle scope ??

whats the point of having a scope if you plan on taking it off (loosing your zero), mounting it to a different gun, with a different rail, and re-zeroing it???? sounds like a wait of time and ammo to me....
...re mounting and re zeroing a scope to a different rifle is a mentality that makes more sense to 2500 dollar scope
to answer your question, generally people have a scope per rifle...just buy a cheapie, then upgrade it later on, then put the cheapie on another rifle...

I have better things to spend my money on and don't want to buy a different scope for each gun, so thats why I was asking the question whether stupid or not. Guns aren't the main focus in my life and I could care less when remounting/zeroing a gun.
They are still listed for under $85.00.

It only takes one shot to zero a scope.
1. Clamp gun in vice aiming at target.
2. Fire a shot
3. Make sure gun is still aiming at the same spot (hasn't moved due to recoil. Re-aim if necessary.)
4. Adjust scope to point at the actual point of impact instead of the target you were aiming at.
Done.
I guess it depends on how far you are zeroing your scope to. I've zeroed a scope to 50 meters (a .22 and .223) and used a couple of rounds. I've also zeroed a scope to 150-200 meters (with a 303 and 7mm ammo, which isn't the cheapest ammo) and used about 8-10 rounds (depending on the windage, etc..). If I were swapping it back and forth and having to do it all over again, I would rather save money in the long run and just buy a second scope.
