For $100 whats the best scope?
For $200 whats the best scope?
For $300 whats the best scope?
For $500 whats the best scope?
For $750 whats the best scope?
For $1000 whats the best scope?
For more than $1000 whats the best?
Obviously there are special scopes for special jobs but what would you say fit into these popular criteria price points?

I'm slowly becoming a real fan of the new Redfield Revolution's for an under $200 "Budget" scope.

Tasco. No other brand needs mentioning. Tascos are complete junk, I prefer the Daisy air-rifle scopes from Wal-Mart. Their quality, hardiness, and value are hard to beat.

At a certain point the naked eye will not be able to tell the difference. What you are paying for are the turrit designs, reticles, and available options.

I went ahead and ordered an NCStar mark III 6-24x50 illuminated rangefinder scope and it looks great and has plenty of features for what I need it to do. Best part is I only paid 70 for it. I do have to admit the open-turret adjustment is a nice change from having to use a coin to sight it in the field and having to worry about losing the covers.
