In my opinion, it seems that one gets what he pays for in scopes...to a degree. The real high priced scopes, are too high priced for my blood. I don't really need Swarovski clarity for my shooting...if it is that much more clear. Can't really tell looking through them in a store.
I have had both Simmons and Bushnells and am still using the Simmons on a 22-250. It is a 20X that I rarely crank to 20 power though. The optics are just not that good, that high. Can't even say where I got that scope. I think it was on a rifle I bought.
I am hard pressed to buy another Bushnell. I have had several of those that couldn't hold zero on rifles that had recoil. Perhaps their quality has improved though.
Not much help, but I would look to save a few dollars more and go for a mid-priced scope that has good customer service and warranties.
