I'm also looking for a scope that I can afford. Around $200.00. This is where I've narrowed down my choices. Leupold VX1 2x7X 33 $180.00, B&L Elite 3200 2x7X 32 matte $179.00, 3x9X 40 $187.00 matte, Weaver Grand Slam 3x10X 46 $244 matte, Weaver Classic 2x10X 38 $179.00, Burries fullfield 3x9X 40 $179.00 matte, Nikon 2x7X 32 $236.00. These prices are bearbase.com prices. I haven't delt with them but understand they are reliable. Right now I'm wavering between the B&L Elite and either of the two Weavers. Good Luck. Hope this helps some. You will be purchasing before I do. Post what you get and let me know why, how much, where, and how good.
