Thinking of getting one for my new mark ii tr.
I see them online some places for 80 bucks!

Is it a decent scope? Looking at the 6x24x40

Thanks!

Where are you seeing the 6-24x40 for $80? I know the 3-9 can be found for that price but not the 6-24. From what I've read on the 6-24 Banner its a nice scope for a trainer. My decision was between that and a Mueller 4.5-14x40. They both have similar reviews and are said to be really nice on the rimfires. Banner was pushing me away just because its a 16.1" scope, doesn't have visible tactical turrets, and has no sunshades available. Probably stupid reasons to shy away from the scope but why not buy what fits the wants right?

May have been the lower power for 80, I'll have to make sure. What does the 16.1 mean?

Thanks.

The scope is 16.1". I'm pretty sure that the $80 is the 3-9.

I use a 6-24x40 Bushnell Banner with visable target turrets and a firefly mil dot reticle on my .17. Cost about $200. I love it, and it's not the first one I've bought. Great clarity and quality built. Very hard to compete with. You can see a better pic of it on my site in my sig. I would definitely recommend it.

I rock one on my 700 Tactical (.308) and one on my Sig 522. They work. I have no complaints so far with either unit I've purchased.

My Tasco 6-24x42mm is supposed to be made by Bushnell and is around $80. I would really like to compare it to the Banner as mine gets less sharp out past 18x. Turrets are repeatable and the AO works fine anyway. I'll see how it does this summer at 200 yards.
