Good luck with your scope Corey, hope it works out for you.
Over the years I've decided that I just won't buy a cheap scope anymore. Even if they work well enough and hold up, the quality and clarity isn't what I choose to use. These days I typically look at the $150 and up range on scopes, with most I have being in the $250-$400 range. Of course there's always the deal where a good scope is on a blowout sale somewhere. I like to find those too
I also think there are diminishing returns on scopes. Once you get past the $400ish price range scopes, I personally don't feel you get alot more for your money. I honestly have no idea how some folks will spend $1500 or more on a scope.
