You guys are nasty. You don't know the man's history and making inferences that he is some kind of "welfare bum" is crude. You should be ashamed of yourself.
I like Burris stuff for hunting and medium-range target. You usually find decent prices, good adjustments, large field of view and reliability with a lifetime warranty.
Watch the want ads on this site for used ones and look around at their offerings so you can select a model you might like. Good luck with your search and good shooting.

Here's a link to a peachy old Leupold 24x fixed. You might make an offer lower than the "buy it now price". http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leupold-24x40mm-A-O-Target-Rifle-Scope-/171640934705?hash=item27f698d131
Someone sold one of these here the other day for three hunnert; quite a deal. You'd probably spend three times as much to get close with a mo modern scope. jd

I have the Mueller 8-32x44 Side Focus target scope http://www.amazon.com/Mueller-Target-Rifle-Scope-Black/dp/B004689ZWQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1441889549&sr=8-1&keywords=mueller+8-32+44+side+focus which I used for about a year in 250yd club matches with a factory Savage 223.
Clear, sharp, and repeatable, light gathering not quite top notch like a 50mm would be; but unless one is shooting under limited light conditions, it's not an issue. I like it enough that I bought another one for my .260 custom from my current year's budget.
Not a Nightforce, but for what you requested, I think you'd like it. I've been on a tight budget myself from time to time, and have had to spread my bucks a bit thin, too.
I bought 6 screw rings http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MV20906?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage and mounted the scope with minimum torque on the ring cap screws. There have been reports of binding internal adjusters when the cap screws are torqued too tight.
Just respect the instrument by using some judgement when torquing down the caps and all should be well. If the scope slips in the rings, just reposition the scope and tighten them a little more.
Note that my rings are extra low rings, chosen because my Ken Farrel 20MOA scope base is rather high to begin with. A more normal mounting setup would probable be better with medium height rings http://www.amazon.com/Millett-Tactical-Detachable-Aluminum-Rings/dp/B003R6L4IG/ref=pd_sim_sbs_200_6?ie=UTF8&refRID=11GRABS3S4P2ZZYN7PAX&dpSrc=sims&dpST=_AC_UL160_SR146%2C160_.
These items I suggest are at the low end of the price range, and some may doubt their usefulness. They work quite well for me and I can't speak for any others.
I also use Bushnell http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ABP4XDO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_search_detailpage for my AR uppers, and my MVP predator 223. When used with a Laser Range Finder http://www.amazon.com/Bushnell-1-Button-Operation-Compact-Rangefinder/dp/B004I8U2IU/ref=sr_1_9?s=sports-and-fitness&ie=UTF8&qid=1441893451&sr=1-9&keywords=bushnell+laser+range+finder, this scope is pretty good for getting your first rounds near to on-target.

Oh, I see. Social Security is not "welfare". I went through multiple plant closings under the first pres. Bush; know what it's like. Your pension plan should have at least been covered by the PGC (for pennies on the dollar) but corporations find ways to weasel out of that requirement, too. FYI, your former CEO and managers probably made out like bandits. As a worker, don't expect any help from Republican politicians - they're all corporate whores.cocopuff said:
At any rate, good used Weaver T-series scopes can usually be found in the Classifieds here. Hawke, Mueller, and Nikko Stirling aren't the greatest ever made, but are credible low-end scopes.
