Dude, high-quality scopes in general are over $100. Laser scopes can fetch a good $1000 sometimes. Just buy a scope for a BB gun. www.shortyusa.com has some good scopes for about $20-30 that has about 4x magnification, and most under $60 come with scope rings.

Thanks, man. I should of added I usually only play indoor wars so I only need one that can go around 50 ft. I just meant I needed one that wouldn't crap out after 2 mins of nerfing. Next time I will make sure that I make myself clear so I dont seem like a complete dumb ass.

Nerf and scopes generally do NOT go together. I would advise you not to waste your money adding useless extras.
1. Nerf guns aren't going to be shooting more than 120 feet, but more realistically you won't be taking many shots beyond 80 feet.
2. Any shots landed beyond 120 feet are very unlikely to hit what you were aiming at unless your target is sitting still. Nerf is NOT about standing still or bunkering
3. Magnification is only needed if you are trying to shoot accurately beyond 100 YARDS. Any closer than that and you should be using iron sights.
4. You're going to need your whole field of view to keep from being flanked. Especially for indoor wars where you're not going to have much time to line up your sights anyways.

The little critters of nature, they don't know that they're ugly. That's very funny, a fly marrying a bumble bee. I told you I'd shoot, but you didn't believe me. Why didn't you believe me?

What Sluggy said.
If you're talking about scoping a Nerf blaster, save your money. Get a slice of 3/4 inch to 1 inch PVC pipe, and make yourself a peep sight; basically, an open, short tube. That'll allow you a quick look and give you pretty much what you can expect as far as accuracy is concerned, and you can aim and shoot on the run.
You won't be able to realistically use even a cheapie BB or pellet gun scope. The eye relief (the distance between your eye and the back of the scope to get a good "picture" is so subtle that you'd need to hold still for quite some time to just get a good sight picture... not something likely to happen in a Nerf war.
Now, if you're just going to plink paper cups off your dining table, and you insist on having that "real douche bag gun look" for your Nerf blaster, then go for it. Most of the people who have airsoft and BB gun scopes on their weaponry have it primarily for looks.

I got a laser pointer mounted on my single shooter Longshot. I haven't tested it in a war yet but its seems great for hip leveled shot (or non-aimed). What are you trying to mount a scope on?

Are you sure you aren't Shorty?
On topic, I find iron sights to be the most useful. If you don't know what I'm talking about, look at this.
The gray dot is the target.

I find red dot sights work well as far as an aiming application. Cheap, decent ones run from $30-$40.
EDIT: It's what boltsniper uses also.

When speaking about a swallow, always make sure you know whether it is an African or European swallow. It is very important.
