Default Tru Glow scopes

I saw a tru glow scope a D**k's Sporting goods. I picked it up and compared it to others and i thought it looked pretty good. I really liked the reticle that it had.
Anyone have any experience with these scopes as far as quality, durability etc

IMHO inside a store is probably the worst place you can look at a scope and evaluate it. Who actually makes the scope and its glass as well as the quality of the coatings on the glass is what I would look at. I've had deer in a plot I could see with the naked eye late in the afternoon and I could not see them thru a lower end scope. A cheap scope is usually just a cheap scope.

It was around the same price I gave for my Nikon Prostaff. That may be considered cheap but the Nikon seems very good to me. I guess thats what i was asking. I have heard/read a lot about Nikon. Leupold, Zeiss, etc but not much to read about tru-glo. They may be new in the scope marker and thats why i have not read much or they may just be crap so no one has one.
I don't know but would like to know if someone has experience with them or knows something about them.
Actually TC, when i made the decision to purchase the Nikon the shop owner told me i should go outside and look to compare. He gave me the Nikon, a Leupold and a Bushnell to look through and quite frankly i liked the Nikon (all were similarly priced except the more expensive Leupold) So i knew to go outside with the Truglo which the guy behind the counter allowed (with him of course).
Again it looked pretty good actually. justlooking for someones opinion who might know more than me
