I have been surprised by "most" of the good glass I have looked through on the so called value scopes.
We may differ in what we call value, for me it is a scope I have bought at a greatly discounted price that when mounted on my rifle I get a big smile on my face=good glass and workmanship.
Most scope brands have different models at different price points....your job ..if you take it is to find the best scope that satisfies your needs....at that time...yes at that time can vary,butt hopefully lasts more than a heartache.
Unless you experience better "optics" you will be in the dark as to what is good optics.
Research will lead you to the conclusion that it is better to spend more for a better scope than a cheap scope and the same research will educate you that there is no need to spend more money on a scope that the rifle it sets on,FACT to me it is a sin and if I am to sin let me feel good about it.
I got off the track,derailed.....Experience will tell you that when thinking of a scope and the rifle it is going to be mated to..that is only part of the equation= the pairing of the two is very important,the mounts and rings,how they fit to each other and more importantly how they fit your "body" ;you can shoot better when you are comfortable.
I think cars and tires should be balanced,so should a rifle and scope.I want my rifle and scope to be aesthetically pleasing to look at,well balanced for the job at hand.
I always try to get the weight and length of scope first before I buy and also ,and this is important the "eye relief".
For me lighter is better,I find that good lighter scopes usually cost more.
I better stop ,Butt one more tip,most brands do not make their own scopes,they do tell the manufactures what they want and at what price point,,,,you can save money by getting a different "branded" scope that is basically the same as a more popular model.
Uh to have the money and just get a expensive scope,funny that years ago shooters made do with what they could afford or get,times have changed,there is better glass at better prices now..Some things will never change,practice makes perfect .
I love to shoot with anything because I have to remain focused to do it well and honestly the only other time I am focused is when I drive.
