You're right, $25-$30. But in all fairness, I don't buy the cheapest scope I can find at WalMart for my rifles either.You get what you pay for.
I use the Petzel it may cost more but I useat work for night work as a linemanand has held up pretty well. Can't remember the last time I changed batteries and used it 2 days ago on a blood trail for a whitetail. The LED's are much better for seeing blood, but in all honesty I ended up breaking out the Coleman lantern since the deerwas in the backyard 100 yards from the garage.
