It sucks being in the middle. I understand where Blue and 2much are both coming from. I want a good scope that will last. I purchased a new TV last week, mine took a dump. The wifes washer took a dump this week, so I have to replace it this week. Its kinda hard for me to shell out a grand for a scope right now, even though my rifle is just setting in the corner. A good scope for a 100 bucks sounds good till you have to replace it, maybe, a couple of weeks later. A friend told me he has a WTC on a rifle of his for years and it works great. Problem is, he very seldom shoots the rifle. Its a safe queen.
