My budget is for $500 or under. But as I would really like "tactical" turrets, that budget seems a little unrealistic. Vortex PSTs are $650ish to start at a 2.5-10 power. But once again, I'd prefer a 4-14 power instead.
I would gladly pay the money for good glass, but I have a hard time spending twice as much for a scope as I did for the rifle. After all, it's only a rimfire.
get the bushnell elite 5-15 tactical, its got tactical turrets and its 450$ on frontier firearms.
That's what I am getting for my 17 hmr and my .22 and my 223..... best for the money tactical scope imo, at 450$, bargain.
