It depends on what your looking for in a scope, and what your planning to do with it. If just hunting, for shots under say 300 yds these are some good ones listed below: 2 with German #4's and one with an illuminated reticle. Not cheap, but not uber expensive as far as scope go.

Other solid scopes with usable features for longer range shooting are the Super Snipers 6x, 10x, 3-9x42 HD, 5-20x50 HD, Bushnell 3-12x44 LRHS and LRHSi, Burris XTR II 2-10x44mm, Vortex Gen II PST 2-10x32mm, Sightron S-Tac 1-7x24 and 2-10x32 (hunting only). All are under $1500. some are under $500. And there are metric tons of good scopes if you wish to spend more than $1500. greenbacks.


With today's knowledge, materials, production capabilities, and technology there is no reason why optics manufacturers can't build bright, sharp, clear, durable, and functional gun scopes that retail in the $250-$500 range for the weekend warrior to the hardcore hunter. Wannabe snipers and tacticool shooters can have their tools, also. Make the core work before adding the gadgets, and add to the price the costs of gadgets that work.

If the ship won't float all the missiles and electronics won't be of any advantage.
