Thread: Price points in centrefire hunting scopes

Nicely done.

It’s a cliché because it’s true that you get what you pay for, but I think the thinking is so ingrained that it’s hard to have a discussion about value for money when it comes to scopes.

Try asking what is the best cheap scope….

It would be really interesting to see the results of an objective comparison of money spent vs amount of scope received. Seeing in your post that the bushnell and burris are the same price for the same specs at 449 I think they can’t be of perfectly equal quality. It follows then that one would be of better value for money than the other. And if either is more than .661 times as good as a VX freedom, than it would be better value for money again.

I recently bought a VX Freedom and am quite impressed with it. It would have to be my first pick for best return on investment from a scope. Not that I have used a huge variety. It just seems like a great scope for the money.
