I still have my Unertl and 30/06 Winchester Model 70. I shot a match with it last month just for fun and almost won eek

Suggest buying a decent scope and spending your extra money on ammo. That's where most commenting on here and elsewhere miss the mark. Everyone's sort of like that guy at the Auto Parts Store working the counter. They proceed to tell you EXACTLY how to fix your car. Only major problem is... they've never actually done it.

Yea... The End.
Here's what most people don't realize:

There are no industry standards for magnification.

So 10X on brand Y is not the same as 10X on brand Z.

Do your homework.
