One of my son's good friends is 14 and is new to hunting. He just missed his first deer last week due to fogged cheapo scope on his Rossi single shot 243. His single mother wants to get him a better scope for Christmas, but just has about $75 to spend. Normally, I would have several extra scopes lying around, but am currently very lite on scopes.
Do any of you have a decent quality 2-7 or 3-9x scope you would sell me for around $100? I am going to chip in part of the cost. Thanks in advance for your help.
Always remember that you are unique, just like everyone else.

No scope, but I can donate some money to the cause.

My best advice is to try to find a used Bushnell 3200 3X9X40. I'll look around for you.

Some shooting knowledge: Don't stand in front of the muzzle. Some hunting knowledge: Too much noise ruins the hunt.

Awesome responses. I was racking my brain trying to help, but apparently the op will have multiple good options for the kid.

It appears you have the scope covered, what else could the
14 year old use for deer hunting?

Let me know.

I am touched by the response this post has gotten so far. The kindness and generosity of the folks here has always impressed me.
The young man's name if Troy. He is 14 and very good, respectful kid. He lives with his single mother and young sister. The mother works two low paying jobs and does not have much money to spare. He asked his mother for only a shirt and shoes for Christmas because he knows she cant afford more. That is the kind of kid he is.
My wife and I and another family bought him a paintball gun and some gear before we knew about the scope otherwise we would have just bought that instead.
I will see what size boots he wears Don and Jwterry, I am sure he would appreciate the backpack etc. I don't think he has much in the way of gear.
Thanks again to everyone, especially Davidlea for helping make this kid's Christmas.

Does he need any ammo?
Dumb question, of course he does. PM me with info on preferred bullet weight and type and I'll send you a few boxes.
I love the generosity this group is putting up....
