In the old days you had cheap junk scopes or expensive good scopes. Not many cheap good scopes.

Not so today. There are plenty of low cost great scopes out there. I have a preference for Weaver.

I've been shooting my Weaver T-10 for over 35 years in long range matches (1000 yard matches) worked great and still works great. It was pricy when I got it (in 1970 dollars).

Weaver is back to making good scopes again. Midway sells a 3-10 Mil/Mil scope for $299. It comes with a life time guarantee.

I put one on my Model 70 308 target rifle and its an excellent scope. Tracks well, and is quite clear.

For hunting I still like the Weaver K-4. Again not a high price scope but is an excellent scope.

I've wen the other way too. I have some target rifles where the sights cost more then the rifle.

But good shooting doesn't have to be a rich man's sport. There are a lot of quality optics and sights out there that work quite well.
