Here's a couple...

Mike, I shoot a lot of scope time with three different (4) scopes. Listed inexpensive to expensive (For Me).
1. least expensive-----> TASCO World Class, 3 x 9,x 40 with Mil Dot, Had without problems on a rifle for 12 years.
2 Next (About 200 buck) BSA 3x16 x 42, lighted retical, mildot, 6 years on a 30-06 no problems.
3. Leatherwood M-600 ART on an 8mm Mauser 4 years no problems. 3x9 x 40 (about 300).
4. Leatherwood M-1200 on a 308 Semi 3x 24 x 50>3 years.
This one is too big for the rifle and I'm thinking of Going to the M-1000.
M-1200 Costs 550.00 Near my upper limit.
The Leatherwoods are Automatic Ranging Telescopes and will put Cross hairs on target out to the end of their ranging capabilities.
