In the $600 price range it would probably be hard to find a really bad rifle scope. Look at the critical specs (eye relief, etc.), consider reliability and customer service - and just pick something with which you will be happy.
Reviews, you get what you paid for. If its a free review, there you go.
There are some on here that insists on talking about products they only read about. They take thier small 1 to 2 scope experience, read a bunch on the internet, and now feel they are optics experts.
