New scope question

[Aragorn243]

I know I'm probably committing sacrilege but I don't think I've ever paid more than $80 for a scope. Most of the rifles I hunt with have $25 Bushnels I purchased about 30 years ago and they are still going strong. The exceptions being my 17HMR's and they came with scopes. The best scopes I own are 40 year old Weaver's.
