I am going to buy a 6X scope. I had wanted to buy a Leupold, on Ebay, I just can't find one for under $150, my absolute max. I had just about decided on a Weaver. Then I found the Pentax, or possibly the new Simmons Master Series. Any suggestions? capt david  "It's not how hard you hit 'em, it's where you hit 'em."

In that price range, you can find a used Nikon Monarch or used Burris Signature, and both offer superb optics for the $$. Bobby Μολὼν λαβέ The most important thing in life is not what we do but how and why we do it. - Nana Mouskouri | |||

Save your money until you can afford the Leupold. Look for the 6x36. It will sell for significantly less than the 6x42 and provides the same performance in a smaller, lighter, more compact package. The only difference might be when the hour is later than legal shooting time, at which point the "low light" performance is academic. You'll have to be very young and healthy and never have smoked in order for your eye pupil to dialate wider than the 6mm exit pupil provided by the 36mm objective. | |||

I doubt you will have a long happy relationship with any scope you can buy new for $150. | |||

Ditto what Stonecreek says. I have three 6x36 Leupolds, they are a great scope, and well worth the asking price. | |||
