[QUOTE="dirtboy, post: 414989, member: 25918"] I was in the same situation. My experience had been this I've owned 3 leupolds all rangeing from $250-$600. I went on 5 outstate hunts. The problem was At that last minute of shooting when the deer, and hogs came out along the wood line I couldn't see the game and defenatly couldn't see my crosshairs. Now do the math 5 hunts at avg. of $1800 a hunt= I was screw because I couldn't see. Than discovered Swaro and than even better S&B. So now I can see, now I can shoot. So you have to ask yourself whats going to be cheaper. If I had gotton a Hawke scope for $129.00 it has mildots on it. for the 3x9x40 that it is I can't tell any difference at low light when compareing it to my dads 4.5x14x50 leupold. This isn't my main rifle Somethinf I just got for plinking,but if I had to get an affordable scope I look at some of the cheapest ones till you got money for a good scope. To me at these prices there all the same. Thing to look for a afforable scope are the adj. knobs be one peice with the tube. If there the glued on type heavier recoil could knock them off when shooting. [/QUOTE]
