Thread: Super budget scopes worth a try, or not?

Cheers. I wasn't thinking of this scope in particular. It was an example and it more just a general question about what really needed as there's such a massive spread in prices.
I don't have any gear yet and first thoughts had been $1500 new rifle plus $500 scope but seems many shooting open high country opt for $1500 - $2000 scopes. Like VX-5HD.
That's 10 times the prices of these cheapies and 4 times the $500 scopes that possibly (probably?) still be ok for high country 400-600m shots.
So much to learn!
