When I was a youngster, with sharp eyes and a flat wallet, I used an old 4x Weaver. Then I switched to a 1.5 - 4.5 Weaver, then I switched to an ancient Zeiss 6x, then to some Japanese (this was in the early 60s.) 3-9 wonder-scope that went all to heck in less than 100 roujnds. Then I went to a Zeiss that kept me eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for several months while I saved up to pay for it. Over the years I have spent more money on scopes than on rifles, The Tasco that goes up to 40X is OK but I wanted more power so I hired a guy who builds telescopes for the University of Pennsylvania, SO far he has made me three "scopes" the last one went up to 200 X. Now I don't actually attach a rifle to these things or go hunting. I have decided that I an an astronomer and that the old Weaver 1.5 - 4.5 was plenty of scope when I really hunted!
