Ill try and make this as unconfusing and short as i can.
I never owned a gun with a scope.
Then I bought a M&P 15/22 and Put BSA R/G/B lighted 3x9x40 scope in it. I had sighting in issues and was shown other scopes and offered a return.
I was shown a few scopes and given a bit of information to help make a decent choice.
My big issue with the BSA was the eye relief and reticle was not the easiest to use. At that point i had a few Nikon's and Leupold's to look at and i found the Nikon to be the easiest to use with eye relief and such. The Leupold's were on par in how they worked but much more expensive.
I chose a Buckmaster 3-9x40 as i could even tell a difference in that over the Prostaff line, But not by much.
Fast forward two weeks and i buy a Savage 93BTV .17HMR and the Nikon immediately swapped onto that gun and the Bushnel Sharpshooter 3-9x40 that came in the Savage package went on the 15/22
Now after two range days i can not for the life of me get my eyes on that Bushnels reticle comfortably without breaking my neck or it being half out of focus just trying to find the sweet spot to use it.
But it is very accurate. But i now hate shooting the gun as its so uncomfortable and hard to get a sight picture.
Ive tried 2 different heights and the stock is adjustable and i still cant be happy.
Is this a common occurrence in a cheap scope? Its about a $30 scope online.
Or am not doing something right?
I think its just the scope as i feel like im driving a caddy when using the Nikon.
I really cant afford another $200 scope.
If im gonna have to buy another i think i know my options, Except one.
The CenterPoint 3-9x32mm Rimfire

Will this scope make me decently happy in the eye area and not make me and my neck hurt? I know its not gonna be a Nikon, But i do here its alot better scope than its price shows.
If not that i know i can score a Prostaff or Redfield at a decent price.
If there are any other options besides a new scope list them.
If you have a scope suggestion in the $75-$125 range that will make my right eye happy as a clam id love to here about it.
