I declare, I don't understand some shooters obsession with paying as little as possible for guns & gear that they'd buy cheap junk. Not just once, but over and over. One $100 scope isn't any better than another.
The Leupold 4x, 2x7 and 3x9 are not fancy schmancy scopes. All three are about as plain as you can get, are good, solid optics for the money and will last a lifetime. I have a Leupold that is close to 25 years old and is on a hard kicking rifle I've put many rounds through. The $300 or $400 I paid for the Leupold Variable on my hunting rifle was far cheaper than the cost of paying for the conga line of cheap Tascos, Bushnells, Simmons or other cheap scope trying to find one that works.That's not to mention the cost of ammo to sight in every time a new scope is installed or shifts point of impact after each time the rifle is bumped. My Leupold is durable, repeatable, has clear optics, full field of view, good eye relief and doesn't give one a headache from trying to look through it.
For many decades, I helped many shooting buddies struggle with cheap optics as they tried one scope after another trying to find something that worked. Some were card carrying members of the "Scope Of The Month" club. I have had only a couple of Leupolds because they work and have never needed replacing.
I would forego the new camo jacket, wear my old, comfortable coat and use the money saved to buy a good, used optic, preferably a plain jane Leupold
