[QUOTE="GreenDecoy, post: 1592410, member: 109506"] It's amazing how good some of these budget optics have gotten. 3-9's: It's hard to beat a Leupold VX1 or a Nikon Prostaff for $150-200 But I recently got a Bushnell Trophy Xtreme 2.5-15x50 on sale for around $200 on Optics Planet. I expected very little from the optic. It has a 6x focal range, side parallax, and illuminated BDC reticle. I figured something has to give...it's a Bushnell after all. I'm telling you, it's an AMAZING scope for the money. I put it on a cheap beater Browning AB3 270 I paid $299 for. It's also the most useful focal range scope I own. I also recently bought a 3-21x50mm Cabelas Covenant FFP 7. It's more expensive at $400. They have cheaper options. Again, I assumed it would be garbage...but it's really impressive. I really cannot believe how good these optics are. [/QUOTE]
