Are cheap scopes useful for some applications? Sure, for some people...
Need a budget scope for your .22lr for target shooting at 50-100yds? El cheapo is the ticket...
Need a budget scope for your hunting rifle? Cheap is not the answer, inexpensive is. Something like a Nikon Buckmark...
Cheap scopes are just that: cheap.
Why spend $500-$1000 on a rifle, but then go out and throw a $75 hunk-o-junk on it? What the heck is going through your head?
There used to be a saying "Spend at least as much on the scope as you did on the gun." Now, I'm not saying that you should do this, but you should at least budget out 50% of the cost of the gun for optics.
You need to be able to see your target every time, or that gun ain't gonna do much for you.
