External adjustments create way more problems than they solve. Scope manufacturers can build reliable hunting scopes that can take some dialing that are not high cost, but not unless hunters start demanding it. When hunters and shooters stop talking "glass" and start talking "reliability and function", you'll see $200-$300 scopes that are solid aiming devices.
I agree and this is very obviously true since there is nothing particularly remarkable about the materials used inside _any_ reliable scope. The unfortunate corollary to that is that it's super difficult to want to pay NXS prices for something that needs only be 10-15% that expensive.. Even the ex-Tasco designs are only barely within the price range you mention. I can think of another design or two, sold under multiple names, that is (are) proving to be surprisingly reliable. Have you seen those at your school enough to comment on them? Even the Tract offerings themselves, if they are durable (they're already proven reliable), prove that reliability and durability of a riflescope is very inexpensive to manufacture, because clearly Tract is spending a lot of money on the optical characteristics of their product, yet they're still apparently priced well below optically-comparable options.
