What makes one scope better than the next?
I am pretty new to hunting and have recently been looking for rifles. There are several reasons to choose one rifle over another based on personal preference. However, I am confused as to what makes one scope better than another? You see scopes at sporting goods stores for $50 and they are well known names. On the flip side you could spend $500 for what "appears" to be the same thing. Notice I say appears to be the same....What is the difference? Will a hunter that rifle hunts 5 or 6 days per yearrecognize the difference?
