OK, I have had this 303 British rifle for at least 40 years. It has had the same scope on it for the last 20. Well, the scope is toast.

I was 1 shot, 1 kill with it until this last season. I shot a deer, dropped it, but as I aimed at the neck, I took out both the hind legs at the knees. (so I still got my deer, but it was not an instant kill, but the gun was WAAAAY off.) After much work, it is apparent that the scope is whack!

I need a new scope, but I do not know much about the new technology.

I'd like something reasonably priced without having to blow the bank as I really don't have it to spend. I'd prefer something in $130-$230 range, but if I need to go above that, I'd listen to reasons why more cash would be a good investment.

Thanks for the help!

Peace of the Lord be with you.
