[QUOTE="Bed Wetter, post: 160764, member: 428"] I often buy used scopes. If it's a quality unit from a reputable company you won't have problems. Even if something goes wrong with it, it'll often get repaired for free. I also prefer scopes with side parallax adjustment when possible. For the money, I like Leupold 4.5-14x40mm. Be sure to get the version with the 30mm tube, not the 1" tube. The 30mm has side parallax adjustment and greater windage and elevation adjustment than the 1" version. Depending on reticle, can be had for $450-525 new. Another keeper is Nightforce SHV 3-10x42 with the MOA reticle. It's a bit heavy at 22oz but a lot of NF scopes are more than 2 lbs. $873 new but can be had for $700-750 used. My deer rifle has a 1-6x Leupold VX-6. I tend to shoot deer inside 150 yds. I know I'm good out to at least 300 yds with it. Glass is awesome but they don't have many options for reticles. Just saw one with a standard duplex reticle sell used for $560.
