My favorite hunting Scope is a Leupold 3x9x50. It doesn't fog, very clear, great field of view and holds zero year after year.
Many of the Vortex optic and others are made in China like the lower end optics.
Also look at the used market for Leupolds if you don't want to spend the new price. They are all covered by a lifetime warranty so you can't go wrong. I have picked up VX I scopes for $125 at gun shows.

I picked up and AR10(T) with a US Optics scope on it about 25 years ago and looked down the tube. I did a double take, dismounted the rifle to look at the scope.
The owner, a swat guy, laughed. He said, "Everbody does that. Nice crisp image, eh?"
I don't believe these are the same quality of the US optics you find for sale now.
