Light
Rugged
Cheap
You can have any two - pick them carefully...
Adding over that a scope with good glass - and you aren't picking cheap it would be fair to say.
30mm is fairly easy but may be heavier than an equivalent 1" tube although it will likely be more robust.
As noted, set down what you want in terms of features, magnification, physical size, weight and glass quality and then see what your options are locally. Have a look at them and see if you like them and then can justify the price tag. If not, see where you can compromise on features to get the price down.
