I put a Simmons 4 x 12 Pro 50 on my .223 for shooting groundhogs!! I've not had any problems with it, and it provides me all the magnification I need for this type of hunting!! When I bought it, I had a choice of the Simmons, a Tasco(custom shop version) or a Leupold!! I opted for the Simmons over the Tasco since I didn't like all the funky knobs on the Tasco, and over the Leupold since I couldn't justify spending $350 on the gun and $475 for the scope!! One thing to remember, you can always up the quality of your optics at a later time!!
Hope this is a help!!!
