Like the man said you buy cheap you get cheap if you want a good scope that will last you a life time spend a little more now and be done with it ,I have spend thousand of dollars on trying scopes and I can tell you leaca is top of the line scopes and Kahles is the best but prices and nightforce is right up there as well but it all boils down to you good luck in picking your scope

I've been buying Arken lately for budget. I've had Bushnell Tactical Elites for years and think they are a good value as well.

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned Black Hound??
I've got one on a 22 and another that is goin on a 300 Rum.
I called them a couple weeks ago and asked how they do on large magnums. They suggest not using the mounting rings that are supplied, and instead going with something a little more proven. He had tested the Evolve 5-25x56 and out of 10 different rifles, he lost zero on two of them due to proprietary rings. That's why he is recommending better rings when mounting on large mag's. Any other caliber is fine with black hound rings.

My first choice is Leupold. VX3 inexpensive now ! VX5 HD on a30 mm main tube ! reasonable pricing ! Good warranty good customer service. Many people seem to really like Vortex. But I have no first hand experience!

I really like Athlon stuff and Burris glass. I run Athlon Cronus on my prs guns and Burris hd on my hunting rigs . Customer service is excellent with both

+1 on the Arken scopes. Have an SH4J on my 6.5 Creed Tikka. Really like it.

I have a Vortex Diamondback Tactical on my Savage Model 12 LRPV in .223 shooting out to 500 yards. It's been a good scope, but if it ever goes belly up I'll most likely replace it with an Arken. I could afford a more expensive scope but don't really see the need after my experience so far with the Arken on my Tikka .
They also have a lifetime warranty and a tracking guarantee!

Bought one of these from Midway myself. Used it all last season. Outstanding for the price. Took it to Utah for muleys. Can't beat it!I just ordered this from Midway USA and it arrives today. I couldn't pass it up for $200 when it's normally $480.

SWFA 6x. Had one of several that I own out yesterday for a bunch of hammering away. Great tracking, very rugged, and the MQ is one of the better hunting/long range reticles I've aimed through. I paid less than $300 for most of mine, and they are without a doubt one of the greatest values in any product I've ever purchased.
I have a safe full of much more expensive scopes; however, I can't say that any actually track better than the SWFA's. It's any easy, unequivocal recommendation for anyone looking for a "budget" scope.
