Thread: 'cheap' scope

If shooting at very long range (150m or so) then a more expensive dialup scope makes sense.

Can't remember a single dud nikko of dozens that come and go through the closet on .22s, and only one defective bushnell. They do the 22 job well.

Totally agree. I use a Simmons 22 mag 3-9x32 on my marlin model 60SS. Bright and clear.
