[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2097653, member: 101482"] I've admittedly only used (and own) up to the vortex HS-LR quality scopes. They run around $1k now, and are OK. Higher quality scopes definitely have better glass (and probably turrets). I don't do nearly as much long range shooting as many here, but haven't had a problem. They have been functional for me, but that said, there are way better scopes out there too. If I were you, I'd look in your price range for used optics here in the classifieds. You can get a scope with a retail price far above your budget. That being said... A scope is a mechanical tool, made by people. ANY scope CAN fail. Look at ones with a good track record of not having to be serviced. Glass is something I also struggled with for a long time in decision making. It's a very high dollar item, and often you cant handle them before purchase (at least that was the case for me). Eventually you just have to make a decision , find a good deal, and put the scope through its paces. Wring it out and get completely comfortable with it. Best of luck in your endeavors!! [/QUOTE]
