You guys are swaying me slowly... How can I try before I buy? I guess a good purchase is one that lasts.
How can I avoid making a mistake / buying something that I hate?
Got a pair of Bushnell Banner 4-12 x 40 AO.
Works well on my CZ 452 Varmint and Style. Cost about 150.00 in 2002, I believe you can get them for less these days.
You can get decent and cheaper adjustable objective variables at Walmart for less than a hundred.
look at the bushnell legend line, they have decent scopes in your price range
