I sent them a Tasco 3x9x40mm World Class scope, and they sent me a new one.
The turrent came off when I was zeroing the scope, it was stuck.
It was an older World Class scope made by Tasco before they bought them out.
So I was sold on them.
Buy what you want, I like Bushnell.

Leupold 3x9x40 Rifleman matte black.....nice clear optics from low to high setting also check into the Hawkeye Brand scopes!
I have a Nikon Scope on my .22 Hornet and it doesn't do well in low light conditions and isn't clear when set on 9 power further out...the Leupold out performs it,sorry but I prefere them and the cost is reasonable!

Bushnell Elite might be OK. Got a buddy that has a few (older models).
The Banners were decent for the $ back in the day, but I saw a lot of them go back when they moved production. Cannot recommend them even for a plinker.
Cheapest scope I'd buy would be a Leupold.
Have seen cheap scopes work well for many years. Also seen them fail, and do so at higher rate.
Hunting time is precious to me, I'm not gonna add risk by trying to save a couple dollars. Yet some folks think taking vac time from work (or lost overtime) and driving a long ways, to run junk guns/scopes/ammo...............and having stuff fail, is worth it. They come into my LGS and buy another cheap replacement and give it a go next week.
Sometimes they miss a nice buck running crap, or hit and lose it. But by golly they didn't spend 100 dollars on a scope! It's like they will p*ss away a deer and a ton of time and money..............just to run a cheap gun and or scope.
I don't get it.
Maybe they have some smarter family members that own 2000 acres they get to hunt on. Maybe they get chances at big bucks multiple times a year.
If that's the case..........let them play their silly game however they wish.
Hell, they're proly gonna opt for the bead sighted rusty arse H&R break open shotgun anyway (no scope).

They have to buy what they can afford.
I am not saying that Bushnell is better in any way.
For some people that is all they have the $ for.
I would love to buy a Leupold, or Nikon, or Zeiss.
But I just don't have the extra dollars.

I honestly can't tell much of a difference between Nikon Monarch and Leupold glass quality. However in my opinion and by looking at scope specs, Leupold scopes have superior eye relief in a lighter package. It makes no difference at the range but the little things stand out on a long hunt.
