[QUOTE="Welderboy250, post: 831296, member: 67711"] In the case that anyone cares, here is my opinion based on my experience with cheap scopes. You might as well skip the 12 power deal case they aren't fit to look through above about 8 or possibly 9 power. It costs more for more power so if u have 2 scopes of $150 market value each and one is a 3-9x40 and the other is 4-12x40 the latter will be of lower quality. In fact I would venture to say if both scopes were set on 9 power and field tested the 3-9 would almost seem like it was more powerful due to the image quality. What I'm saying is if I had only 150 to spend I would be looking for the highest quality used scope I could get my hands around for that amount and it would likely be a 3-9x something because they seem to be the most popular. My personal ideal opportunity in that situation would be something along the lines of a xv2 leupold with some serious battle scars and ring marks that I could fix up with some model paint to match the gun. Might not be as pretty as a new cheapo but like so many things, the true beauty is on the inside [/QUOTE]
