I finished swapping around scopes, Im happy with where im at with all but the 300AAC build.
I picked up some small scope I like the way it looked "Leapers UTG 3-9x32 Compact CQB Bug Buster" http://www.amazon.com/Leapers-3-9x32.../dp/B005VRYHNI

I spent a hour or so in a gun shop trying every scope they had but my eye's suck so it don't matter if I get the best scope I can find with bifocals.
I can either see the cross hairs clear or the target not both at same time.
That's a decent little scope and the reviews are good on it.

Yep, like you I'm hard on scopes. I've had decent luck so far but last fall, I shot my elk and left the scope dialed up to 9 (I usually keep it at 4.5) while I dressed the elk out. After I was done, I picked up my rifle and tried to dial it back to 4.5 and the dial wouldn't move. I didn't bump it, drop it or anything so I'm not sure what's up with that. Bushnell replaced it free of charge so it turned out ok in the end. I did check out some Leupold's and Bushnell's but the ones with adjustable turrets and higher power ranged upwards of $600 and I'm not spending that much considering my luck....lol. If this BSA scope works as well as it should, I'll buy another next spring and mount it on my spare hunting rifle.

It turns out my sporting goods store here in town actually has BSA scopes.....just not the model I wanted. But I'm going to see if they can order it in, how long it'll take if they can, and how much $$$ If I can get it for under $200, I'll buy from them as it's going to cost me that much with shipping from US to Canada.
