Need an LER Scope

[LloydXmas250]

I'm looking for a budget, yet good quality LER scope that has 4X zoom. It can be variable and more that that, but that's really the magnification I plan on using the most with it. It's going to be put on a Mosin so it must be LER. Any good suggestions?

Wow, I was going to say Leupold Mark 2 but on a mosin a 4-12 has almost 5" of eye relief in actuality. I don't know what they mark them as but they have great eye relief.

I don't know much about scopes so I don't really know what you mean by that. Is that even a long eye relief scope? Other's I've seen are advertised as 10-15" of eye relief and mostly are labeled as handgun scopes.

What kind of budget are you talking about??

Well I work a crappy job and am putting myself through graduate school so not a high one. Also, it's a Mosin so I feel a little weird putting a scope on there that's more than 2X the cost of a Mosin. I also just bought the Insta-Mount from S&K so budget went down. I was thinking of buying a cheapo, but like I said, of decent quality, and then by the time it breaks I'll most likely be able to get a nicer one. I've been referred to a Simmons.
