So I went to the range on Sunday to sight in my
new rifle. I found that without a spotting scope,
I would have to wait 30-40 minutes to go downrange
and look at my target. So I have to buy a scope.

It looks like there's three choices. A no-name
$60-$100 scope, a Bushnell Spacemaster for $300,
or a name brand Nikon/Pentax/Leopold for $400.

The scope will be used for casual shooting at 100
yards, 30 caliber bullets.

I don't want to spend more than $400 and I'd like
to get off considerably cheaper if possible.

Any recommendations?
