[QUOTE="777funk, post: 759073, member: 63638"] I think I can understand what would separate the cheap from the expensive in scopes: [LIST] [*]Clear image (I've seen some newer $80 Centerpoint scopes with a good picture but low sun angle isn't the best) [*]Holds a ZERO and doesn't budge one fraction of an MOA. [*]Solid construction internally and externally [*]Can adjust windage and elevation and return the turrets to the same exact point accurately [*]Maybe More??? [/LIST] [I]Is it possible to have just 1-2 of those qualities (i.e. holds a zero without budging) in a reasonably priced scope? For me that would be $200 - $300 range. Is used a good idea? [/I] My budget says that[B] I don't want to spend a dollar for something that isn't going to show up on paper.[/B] My dad used under $100 (problably less maybe $35 back then) 3-9 scopes on his old 336 .35 Rem Marlin all the time he used it (now hunts with a Browning A-Bolt in 308) and did decent for what the gun could do (2"-3" groups at 100 with factory loads).
