I have been thinking about putting a higher magnification scope on my 580-series mini-14 (I'm getting a bit long in the tooth and my eyes aren't what they used to be). Today I was in Academy and I saw a BSA 4-16x40 Mil-Dot Scope | Illuminated Reticle for $99. Is this a decent scope or a piece of junk?

I don't want to look a gift horse in the mouth, but $99 for a scope seems too good to be true.

So - this scope - good idea? Bad idea? Will it hold up on a semi-auto? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

JCB
