No way for agreement
Especially on a forum.
Thank goodness they still sell $100 and less scopes. And not every hunters has good or better eye sight. And not every hunter has big bill folds and great big credit card balances.
I have an inexpensive Bushnell "telescope" that I've used for decades at the rifle ranges. Never shot at dawn or late in the day, so I never needed one that cost $800, that sees better at dawn and dusk.
Some scopes see better in the dark, which for intended purposes, is before or after legal shooting purposes.
Of course, more expensive scopes have advantages. In shadows, they pick out the racks better. And they can make a shooting difference.
But hunters can still shoot with inexpensive scopes, and that can make a hunting difference for some hunters.
