GM54-120 said:The Simmons 4x32 is the best super cheap scope i ever tried. Mine was a much older one so i dont know if the newer ones hold up as well. The old one was called a ProDiamond. New one is called 8 point. I have no idea if they are similar but IIRC the old one was made in the Philippines.
Actually, the ProDiamond is now in the ProHunter line. 4x32, 4" eye relief. http://www.simmonsoptics.com/riflescopes/prohunter.aspx
Like Okie Hog noted, about 60 bucks. I know that Simmons has a less than stellar reputation but a lot of us ML shooters use this scope and I've not heard of a failure. Maybe because it's a fixed scope with less parts to shake loose. IMO, if funds are tight and you need to get a scope right now, this is the one to get. Then you can save up for the really "good" scope. That was my plan, I just never got around to replacing it, because the darn thing just works for me. I also like the fixed 4X for 95% of the ML ranges I shoot (less than 150 yards), and there are not many decent fixed scopes left on the market.
