whats the best, most reliable scope for less than $200. be best if it was around 100 but i dont want to put a turd on top of a kimber thats for damn sure. i was looking for something like a 4-14, 6-18, 6-20. something like that. i want something that is well made and reliable. i have heard a lot of good things about simmons scopes. i was also looking into weaver's. anyone heard of mueller?

thanks,
devin

edit: it has to be a matte black finish.
 
most people dont like them but i have a BSA contender on my 270.never had any trouble with it and its my hunting rifle.bought it online from SWFA for under $90.
 
Captain,

There are a couple of scopes that I would recommend in your price range. One would be the Bushnell Trophy 4-12x40 or the 6-18x40. These scopes are very nice for the price. But, I would highly recommend considering the Mueller line of scopes. There clarity and brightness is actually very good for the price. I think they are much better than the trophy scopes.
 
the mueller tatical is actually the one i had/have my eye on. i just have not read very much about them. they dont seem really popular. the guys on rimfirecentral.com rave about mueller. i think thats the one i will go with. if i dont get the mueller i will prabably go with a simmons 44 mag, whitetail classic or something from the master series. i read a review in american riflemen about simmons' master scopes. they seemed to like the design very much.

thanks,
devin
 
You may want to look at the Nikon and Leupold lines carried by Wal-Mart and other big box retailers. They are good quality and won't break the bank. Not as nice as the high-dollar models, but quality just the same. They are at the high-end of your stated price range, but all reports I have heard suggest they are a good value.

Spend every dime you can find on a scope. There is no such thing as a 'good' inexpensive scope. Nikon Monarch series or Leupold Vari-XII are about the cheapest scopes of decent quality out there.
