I think you'd be pleasantly surprised at how good those Argos scopes are. On sale at Cameraland awhile back at a great price, bought an 8-34x56 and am amazed at how good the glass and turrets are. Also have an Argos 6-24, same thing. Most recently an Ares 4.5-27, same thing. They hit way above their price point. Don't know about the lower powered scopes but definitely worth a looksee.
