I had considered a higher magnification SWFA Scope, but on SnipersHide a member had a great deal with Rings, Level, Butler Caps, and 10x scope for well under 400 dollars, so I picked it up. Plus, if I find out I really enjoy this as a hobby, more than likely I will end up investing in an Bushnell, Steiner, Vortex variable scopes and go ahead an drop the 2000 grand or so.
