An old Leupold vxii or vxiii -------- You want a nice scope, grab one of those Diavari scopes in the classifieds.
He's looking for a budget scope, along the price line of a Vortex Crossfire II...while nice, I don't think those Ziess Diavari scopes, at $1450 and $1275, are what he'd consider to be a "budget scope"
