Get Opp my rawn, Plick!
We all have to start somewhere. A cheaper scope for applications that are not a life/ death situation should work. A fix magnification scope (4x) made by Bushnell or tasco should be sufficient for shorter ranges ( <150 yards).
Stay away from variable magnification scopes or illuminated reticles as you only get more cheap options. I have an old Tasco scope sitting atop my Dad's old Savage hunting rifle. It has held zero for the last 15 years and the standard Plex reticle is just fine for generalized target shooting ( 100 yards) and deer hunting.
The BSA scope is Okay... In fact, I used one on an M1A ( 308) and it worked just fine. I upgraded to a better scope when surplus funds became available, it now sits on top of a 10/22 plinker.Just dont use it on a Mini-14 as that gun will kill almost any scope that you put on it.
The Centerfire scope from Walmart works well, a buddy of mine uses one on a 30-06. It is still reliable after 200 rounds.
