I disagree with the people that say you cant get a decent quality scope at a budget price or, "You get what you pay for". There are now and there always has been scopes that are worth more than they are priced at, same goes for scopes that are priced way too high for what they are. There is no quality/price union that assigns prices for scopes, the free market sets prices. Its up to the consumer to do research and find a quality scope that is worth more than they are paying, no matter if its a $50 WalMart scope or a special order from the local gun shop that costs a grand or more. Shopping for value covers all price points, in all products, not just scopes.
You can get a good quality scope for a low price now days, optics are just like anything else. Look at glasses, years ago it took hours and hours, if not the better part of a weeks paycheck to get a good pair of glasses. Now? I can get online and have a pair mailed to me for about a hours pay. And they will get here tomorrow. Rifle scopes are the same way.
With that said, I cant really recommend a specific scope because its been a few years since I bought one (new) and manufactures change the way they make things pretty often. A good Bushnell this year may be junk in a year or so. It helps to check them out and compair them but you will pay more for that privilege, if you mail order you will save money but you have to rely on internet opinions like here or one of the gun forums. Thats why I mentioned manufactors changing things, if you take opinions, find out how long ago the scope was made by the person recommending it before you take it as gospel. And remember, a Ford guy will always try to get you to buy a Ford, even if its a Pinto.... dont be a sucker for someone elses bias.
FWIW, I have a $60 BSA on my .22 target rifle that keeps me in the money at matches. Want to have fun? Play mind games with the other guys on the line, put tape over your scope name, it drives some people nuts trying to mentally rank you before you even shoot. Want to mess with them more? Ask the local pawn shop for a few price stickers and put that on your scope, let people know your kid kicked over your rifle last night and you had to stop and buy a scope on the way to the match. The point is: if people think a scope is junk and wont shoot, when they get behind the rifle it will perform just like they think. On the other hand, if you buy a scope that you know is top quality for its price point you will shoot well.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
