I just need something cheap and reliable
"cheap and reliable" - These two adjectives just don't go together when talking about scopes. Sorry, but that's just the way it is. If you can't afford a scope that's in the $200 range (at a bare minimum), you should wait and save up until you can buy one. If you don't, you'll just be getting scopes of the same quality that you now have. This time it was the reticles, next one will fog up, then you'll get one that won't hold it's point of impact, etc.). You'll have to keep buying replacements, and in the long run, you will have spent enough to have bought a good quality scope in the first place. The good news is that, since most deer hunting is winding down for this year, you have lots of time to save up. Leupold, Nikon, Burris, Pentax, and Bushnell cost more than you want to spend, but you won't be disappointed with the quality once you get any of these, as well as a few other brands, on your rifle.
