You can get a Leupold VX-1 3-9 power for $200 from walmart (or from most other places too). It has a lifetime guarantee. Yes, you can buy a $50-$75 scope, but if you are going to do that, just save yourself the $, keep the iron sights and not have to deal with poor optics. I also have a Burris and a Weaver and would recomend them as well. Both are good scopes comparable (quality and price) to my Leupold, but I prefer my Leupold hands down. If you have the cash for more scope, I'd go for a Leupold VX-2 or even a Vari-X III. Once you've hunted with a quality scope you won't be able to go back. I cringe when I have to look though a friends cheap scope.
