I have some great scopes and have done very well with then but I only hunt coyotes any more and call them so a 300 yard shot is about all I the farther I shoot. I have $69. scope I just had to try and it's been killing coyotes for a couple years and is great.

I do tend to buy closeouts and open box specials when they come up. I've been shooting scopes for 45 yrs and haven't had one fail yet. I did predator control work in the 1970 with a Weaver 4x, it is still killing deer on my nephews rifle.
My German drillings I've taken the Euro scopes off and replaced them with Leupold VX-1 1-4x20mm and a Weaver K-1.5, They work better for me.
I just bought a couple of Konus M-30 1.5-6x44mm and am impressed with the glass on them, ones on a custom Rem 600 in 6x45mm and the other on a custom AR in 223 and 20 Practical and a Meopta Artemis 1.5-6x40mm on a bolt 20 Practical all work well for called coyotes. I have less than $500 in the three scopes.
To each his own.
