I would agree with Jamie.  The Bushnell Trophy scopes are excellent scopes for the money.  Another one that I like is the Weaver.  I don't know how they handle up to the pounding, but their optics are impressive.

hylander,

I would also have to agree about getting the trophy.  I'm just not sure if they make it in a fixed 4x.  

Jon, do they?

Thanks for the input.
I am leaning toward the Weaver classic 2.5-8x28 ($198.00)
or the 4x28 Weaver ( $150.00)
would these be good choice's.
I have not had good luck with bushnell in the past ( seaveral years ago).
also fixed or variable what would be better. :grin:

In the Trophy series, there is a 2x32 and a 2-6x32.  And the Weaver offers a 4x28 and 2.5-8x28.  Like I have said before, I am very impressed with the optics on the Weavers.

I have had good luck so far with swift pistol scopes.  Worth a look.

hylander,

I agree that Bushnell's had problems years ago.  However, the new Bushnell's are an entirely different line.  On another note, the Weaver line of handgun scopes is also a good choice.  I would take a look at both and see which one you feel most comfortable with.
