My experience with scopes, comes from my friend's large air rifle collection, with scopes on all of them. None of his scopes are newer than 2011 models. He owns a few sub $300 Hawke scopes, a few UTG scopes, and a few BSA scopes. I notice all of these scopes are not as bright as his other brands are, especially at higher magnifications. He even has a few sub $200 Bushnell and Simmons, which are optically superior. Not picking sides or favorites. these are just my personal observations.
My question is this: In the past 7 years since he has been purchased any scopes, have those brands I listed improved their optical quality of their sub $300 scopes? Or should I still avoid those at this time?
