Glad to hear that you are getting back after it. Good luck. Doug has this Burris on sale: Burris Droptine 4.5-14x42mm

I almost bit on a 4.5-14X Burris Droptine.
Thought about one of those and the 1.5-6X illum dot model Doug has.
Those are both really good, especially at that price.

You`re in SE Wis, I live 100 miles North of GB...woods. Field Of View is important to me. If you hunt in simuler country, I`d look through all before I got one. I have several Diamondback 3x9x40`s I really like.
Good Luck The Diamond back would be my ultimate choice but right now I just want something to get me through this hunting season. Maybe next year. And yes, I bought a Tasco. (Cringe). Money is tight right now. I have a 3-9x40 Tasco with the pronghorn on the side, that came on a 30-30 I bought. I put a smaller scope on it, but I'm sure the Tasco would've worked fine. They just have cheaper/lesser coatings on the glass than the next step up. I'm probably going to mount it on a Marlin 60 22lr.

I sure agree strongly with the folks who are recommending Burris or Nikon for reliability and decent quality on their lower priced line of scopes.
Between the two, in today's times, I would choose Burris over Nikon because of Nikon making the decision to exit the scope-building business.... (future year warranty issues)
Good luck!!

Weaver 40/44 s are good if you can find them. I have a couple of them that I paid less than $100 for that have given me good service.

I have two Simmons aetec scopes, and have used tasco scopes. The new Simmons scopes have amazing eye relief, have very clear glass, and I feel are better than the 50 year old best scopes you buy back then.
guns to me are like legal crack
