"Economy" Scope Recommendation

[CaptainBravo]

Hey guys, I have a UTG 4-16 x 44 (I think) with end bell focus on my synrod 22. I really want a side focus scope. I use this gun for hunting and target shooting (informal) and I would like low magnification and illuminated reticle for hunting. I like taking it with me deer hunting to dispatch squirrels quietly. I hunt in a dense pine woods and it gets dark quickly in there. I am looking at the UTG 4-16x56 Bubble Level. It is $225 at Pyrymid and you get the side wheel for free. Is there another scope in this price range that I should consider? Is there a reason that I should NOT get this one?

Thanks for any advice guys.

I have that scope, or an earlier (?) version of it (no bubble level), mounted on my .22 Wildcat. Works fine, and the big objective lets me shoot inside and outside dairy barns. I need to make or buy a larger sidewheel, as it would make it a little easier/quicker to adjust in the field - that your selection comes with one is a plus.

Thanks for the reply bent. I think I am going to go for it.

CaptainBravo You may want to look at the UTG 4-16x44 AO Swat Accushot also at PA. Part # PY-A-3900 for $139.99 the side wheel is extra - part # PY-A-4513 it is 80mm for $12.95. I have this on my 25 cal. mrod in the bp style. Just something to think about. Darell

Thanks for the suggestion Darell, I think I am going with the bubble level scope because it has the etched reticle, but I appreciate the suggestion.
