I have a 4-16 x 40 mildot BSA scope and it isn't crap. The scope is on a ruger 77 vt in 223 and works great

Go to www.midwayusa.com and find bsa scopes. Find the model you like and then click on it to read the reviews of some of tha folks that purchased them.

I got a $25.00 4X BSA scope and $6.00 mounting rings at Walmart. Mounted it to my 40 year old Winchester .22LR (that has had 20,000+ round through it, and hasn't been cleaned in 2000 rounds.) First time I've ever mounted or zeroed a scope, and I was shooting down shotgun shells at 100 yards. Shot 6 of them down in 8 shots. I didn't even have a benchrest or even a bipod...... I was resting the end of the rifle on ammo boxes.

As a sidenote, there was *no* wind, and it's hard because on the 4X scope, the crosshair is almost as wide as the shotgun shell at that range.

I'm about to go buy a new Savage .22LR and get a BSA 3-9x40 ($30) and new rings for this one....... I'll let you know how that goes.

If you're looking for real quality on an 800 yard gun, go for a Leupold, though........

I have a BSA catseye 3-10x44 fitted to my Remington 597 and it has worked well, but on the other hand itīs a .22 weapon and ive only used it at ranges up to 80 meters. /Johan
