if he wants a great scope at half price may I suggest Cabelas instinct scope. they are made by meopta and have a lifetime warranty and use Schott glass from Germany. cabelas is clearing them out again my buddy just bought two of the 4.5-14x44 one for his kid and one for him. he is building a savage 6.5 Creedmoor and I told him about them and he ran over to Cabelas to snag a couple. he has been wanting a meopta for years after looking through mine. I have the R1 1-4x22 kdot and the R1 4-16x44 diamond mil-dot and ZD 1-4x22 meotac all on ARs and the glass is amazing even better than my German built Steiner military 1-4x24 if he wants really nice glass and turrets tell him to check them out they are available in 4.5-14x44 and 6.5-20x50 and are on sale for $399.88 and $449.88 anyway here is a link:
