[QUOTE="JimFromTN, post: 995470, member: 5778"] If all your going to do is hunt deer 3 or 4 days a year with it and go to the range maybe once before season if your lucky, then stick to the cheap scopes. The cheaper the scope, the bigger the gamble. If you don't have much time invested in the woods and you aren't really that serious then if you blow it on a buck of a lifetime because of your scope then its no big deal and it still makes for a great story. If you invest allot of time in the woods then you might want to invest in a higher quality scope. How much you spend should be based on how much you hunt and how serious you are. The more you invest, the more it sucks when you blow it. In addition to being worlds apart in low light situations, the more expensive scopes are more durable. Also at higher powers, the more expensive scopes will be allot clearer. I usually spend about the same amount on the scope as I do the rifle but I hunt other things besides just deer in TN. I have hunted hogs in Texas and Moose and Black Bear in Alaska and I am ever hopeful to hunt just about every species of big game in the United States and possibly Europe and who knows maybe even Africa someday so I see spending $600 on a scope as a wise investment.
