Rifle Scopes : cheap scope tests

thanks for your thoughts.  I would buy better it I could afford it. but these cheap scopes do work and there are many people in my position that would appreciate a comparison that may save us from buying the complete junk.   simmons has a couple that I would be interested in.  weaver, and others offer a low end 4to16  or 6to20 or 24 range.  If I only needed one scope it would be so easy but I have several barrels that need to be scoped. that pretty much limits me to low end.  I have a burris 4,5 to 14 and it cost much more than my bsa 4to16 but isnt that much of a improvement.  Muller makes some in my price range also.  the redfields I have seen dont impress me at all. they look good on outside thou.  I feel a good test would help alot of people in the pwr ranges I mentioned.  the vortex on sample list with the v plex illuminated rect. @129.00 any thoughts?  I dont like lite up recticles. maybe this one is ok?  thanks   sandy
