Which cheap scope?
I've got a gun I'm just about to ditch. It's an AR-15 that never worked right: FTF, FTE, etc. I had a 3-9x40 VXII on it, that I switched to a .30-06 that I actually hunt with. I replaced that scope with a cheapo BSA red dot that totally stinks, since the dot covers up a 12" bullseye at 100 yards!
This Summer, I sent the gun back to the mfgr after owning it for 4 years, & they worked on it free of charge, & sent it back saying it's OK now. I haven't been able to shoot it much, since the scope stinks, so I want to put a scope on it through which I can actually see the X at 100 yds.
This is a plinking gun, though I could use it for 'yotes if the follow-up shots prove to be reliable. If it can't hold a group, though, I want to get rid of it.
So, how do I go about spending $50 to $75 to get a "serviceable" scope? It's a .223, so it's not like the thing willbeabsorbing any monstrous amount of recoil.My intent is to not throw too much $$$ down the drain if it doesn't work out.
Thanks for bearing with me on this one!
