There are differences in cheap Bushnells and the more expensive Bushnells. The Bushnell on my 280 is a Elite 6500 4.5-30 it isnt cheap costs me over $800. Tascos are garbage in all prices ranges! You get what you pay for when it comes to scopes, you buy a $49 Bushnell and you will have junk, you buy a $500+ Bushnell and you have a really nice scope. Tasco is about like a BSA, not worth the box they are packaged in.
