Well a good scope for the money is a term I consider mostly junk..Like a 650 dollar AR. I can find GOOD ARs everyday for 700-800 I just bought a Bushmaster varminter for a friend(no scope) for 700 bucks..with the case and everything..As far as scopes..I just put a New BSA on an ol 788 Rem 243. Not much recoil so I doubt that it will die..but it'll work for what I need..and it was a "good scope for the money" ....unless it dies soon. LOL!! Sighted the darn thing in and it really is an accurate rifle. I got it cheap cause it wouldn't shoot. Cleaned the bore with a Foul Out bore cleaner and Voila!!...It's a good rifle...for the money

I didn't get the $600 Ar, I got the Double Star! And I am very pleased with it.

FYI the 'cheap' is is this one: http://centerfiresystems.com/AR-IA-20A/3.aspx

It says Interarms Huston TX USA, they used to import pistols from brazil. The place selling it said the price for the next load has increased, that the $629 price was an intro..........but when I learned the Kentucky law enforcement used the Double Star I got it instead. You already saw the pictures.

And back to the subject of 'Good scopes for the money' I mailed my 15 year old Seeadler of Nurnberg scope back to the US today. They admitted to me I have one of their last true German made scopes. The same series is now made in China, and they are cutting sales of all scopes, they got a contract to fix some brand I never heard of!

But they will still fix my current scope if it ever needs it. But it has worked flawlessly, cost me 500DM at the time, about ($300). It is an 8x 56mm with a #1 post, and has the fast focus, so it is still a keeper But it is sad to think, if it ever needs work, would they replace stuff with Chinese stuff?
