Cheap scope > Optics, Mounts, and Sights

Just want something to play with. Can put 10 rounds in an 8" circle with no bench rest using iron sights at 100 yards. Want a CHEAP scope to play with until I bite and get an EOTEC. Using an A2 carry handle. I know a scope on an A2 isn't ideal. I just want to hit the target at 100 yards with a little more precision. I would also like a compact scope as well. Are any of the BEC's or BSA's any good for just having fun?

Get one of the Leapers/Norinco 4x20 Colt's ripoff scopes. Works fine on a handled receiver and they're no more than $40. If you like it save your money for a real Colt's scope with good Japanese optics. If you don't like it you're not out much.

I'll second Chuck's recommendation with one Caveat - you need to use LocTite on the 4 screws that hold the scope to the mount. While firing I've had my screws come out resulting in a wandering zero. Once LocTited the scope held zero fine.
