[QUOTE="Jon Bischof, post: 2424838, member: 879"] I own 5 Burris scopes and I will probably never part with any of them. As Feenix mentioned, Konus makes some low priced scopes that are servicable. My son has one that he has used to kill 4 deer on a Handi-Rifle. But the glass isn't as good as Burris. Two of mine are the older Burris Signature scopes with glass that stacks up above most other scopes until you get above $700. Another good glass scope when you can find them are the old (no longer made) Bushnell Elite scopes. But would be way over $200. Swift makes some simple scopes for around $200 and I have two Swift scopes. Swift Premiere is a pretty good scope. Certainly worth more than similarly priced scopes. If you want some clarity, stay away from Leupold Freedom, Rifleman, VX1--they are disappointing once you compare them to others. They are in the same lower class as Bushnell Banner and Trophy. Riton Primal X1 is less than $200 when I bought mine and it has good clarity over and above that price until you get to higher priced scopes. I have two Riton scopes and like them both. Solidly built. [/QUOTE]
