I've thought about the "save for a better scope" idea, but it always leads to the "if I'm gonna spend THAT much for a scope I oughta hang it on a better rifle(read Remington 700 VLS in .22-250
). I just need the gun and a less expensive scope until I get out of school, then it's time to trade up.
As it stands, either a mueller or a bushnell 6-24. I'd love a Nikon or a Weaver but just too pricey. Leupy's quality, but there's just not enough of a noticable difference FOR ME to justify the extra cash. My .02.
