I've been looking for a suitable scope for weeks. But I haven't decided yet. I told one of my friend that I need a scope that is suitable for hunting amid 200 yards and a light one. He suggests me to choose this one.
"Catseye Rifle Scope 3-12x44RGBGE" |

What price range are you looking in and what rifle and caliber. I have never had anything good to say for any of the BSA scopes for any caliber over a 22lr.
The Vortex viper 2-7 X 32 would be a good small scope. The Vipers are on closeout, there has been some lag on avalibilty at times. The Vortex crossfire while not as good of glass is a little less expensive. If you can go up in price better scopes can be had.

Folks ain't got a sense of humor no more. They don't laugh they just get sore.
Need to follow the rules. Just hard to determine which set of rules to follow Now the rules have changed again. |

Pretty much what these guys said. For general hunting on a budget a good 3x9 is tuff to beat. If you are looking for even cheaper scopes then for $100- $150 you can look at the following:
Redfield 3x9 or 2x7 Sightron SI 3x9 Weaver K4 Nikon prostaff 3x9 on closeout $99 Otherwise for sub $100 look on the sample list at some of the bushnell trophys or there was a weaver K4 for $99 or a swift on there for $59. I would rather have theose than a BSA , Tasco or Simmons. Another alternative is to contact SWFA and ask about the pentax pioneer that they show on their ebay auctions. Good buy for $129.

Take the well-informed advice of these fellas. But don't spend your hard earned cash on a BSA. Much better scopes out there.

Viper 2-7 or Bushnell 4200 3-9 both proven performers.
