Guess it depends on what you can afored. I bevieve in quality, but sometimes the dollar has its say in this.
Getting into small bore shoots at a local gun club. There are a lot of different scopes on the line, you can tell by what you see who has the time an money to play an how serious they are about it. So i'm one of the little guys who likes to shoot but has to watch the dollar. Think i have a fairly nice set up to compete with them.

Swift 4/12x40 on 46b mossey
ossprey 6/24x50 on rem 510 targetmaster
both are good clear scopes an didn't break my wallet, plus i think i get savings by shopping a natchez shooting supply.
But everyone has there picks
