Newb to optics

[93GTCANADA]

Hi,

I have a remington 572 that I would like to outfit with optics.

I think I would rather a scope. It's mostly to shoot at the range. 50 to 100 yards.

Can I get something under 100 bucks with the rings ? I don't even know what kind of rings I would need.

Any recommendations is appreciated. I see so much for sale on the EE and have no clue what to look for. Thank you

Would something like this work ok. I am not looking for anything fancy.

I would stay away from those little pencil tube scopes, go to your local sporting goods store, They should have a decent 4x power scope or variable 3-9x power.

I've used those little scopes and they are a junk, I would always end up buying a 32mm scope or 40mm scope, to allow for a better sight picture.

I have the same tasco scope, I won't recommend it. Very cheap. When buying scope you get what you pay for.

On my hunting rifles, the Scope usually cost more than the rifle.

Yeah but this is only to see better at the range. Is it that bad ? Would it fit on my 572 ?

How good do you think it is? Shipping would exceed purchase price by 200%, that should be a red flag.

Look at scopes around the top of your price range... Something like a Bushnell Banner is leaps and bounds ahead of the scope you were looking at.

Thats true about the shipping. I will go see my local stores to see what they have. Do they make a scope that's pretty short in length ? Also what kind of rings do I need ?
