Rifle Scopes What scope would you recommend for someone who has never owned one before and wants to by something decent?

Okay, I can see you are in trouble right now. Take it easy. Do you have any Allman Brothers in the house?

As for scopes you won't get an informed decision here because the fanboys with the Nomad bottom rockers think they know what is best for you. 1) Always ask if they own one 2) always ask if they actually use it and 3) and most important ask if it has ever gotten dirty and they just left it alone.
 
A highly overlook FFP Japanese HD glass 6-30.

Primary Arms Platinum, lifetime warranty, one of the few scopes TibasarusRex did not break.

If you call opticsplanet.com you can get it for less than 1300
