Save your money and get good optics such as a Leupold. A cheap scope can lead to more issues than the short term savings offset. A quality scope can last a lifetime and be transferred from rifle to rifle.

Used ones are often available for a reasonable price.

I second the Leupold recommendation!

I paid $600 for mine and it was worth every penny. The optics are second to none, not to mention it is made in the USA, and has a lifetime warranty.

Leupold. But you still have to narrow down which one you want.
I have 4 6.5-20 EFRs and 3 24x BR-Ds. If I didn't like them I wouldn't buy more. If I thought something else was better I would buy it. The alternative is the 36x BR-D and the boosted EFR if you want more magnification.
