What is the best $200 and under IR and mildot scope 6-24x .

[nervoustrigger]

Might as well ask the inevitable...you need it to be springer rated?

[mcc1961]

No for a .257 condor.

Had one on my Cricket .25. I thought it was very decent in full sunlight, but very meh at dusk.

Having owned and used several scopes in the $70 - $200 price range, including Hawke, UTG/Leapers, BSA, Simmons, Sun Optics, Vortex, and a few lesser-known brands, I have yet to find one that is as clear and bright and free of distortion as the BSA 6-24x44 sold at Midway.  Actually, none of the rest even comes close.  Easily worth the list price of $250 but at the $130 price it's just absurd.  The mildot reticle is a fine etched glass type which has worked beautifully for me, giving suitable aiming precision to drill hosps and chipmunks at over 60 yards with confidence.

Only problem is, it does not have an illuminated reticle.

If that's not a hard requirement, you may want to go off and read some other opinions here:

i have yet to read one bad comment from a user of the BSA scope NT is talking about above . i almost got one but wanted something that could be safely used on a springer . i got a hawke varmint 6-24x44 for a similar price and i've been very happy with it .
