Best budget scope brand for the money???

[sh00ter]

Right now Bushnell is looking good and not made in China for some of them. I am thinking about a 223 or 22lr rifle scope in the 100-300 dollar range.

Who has the most for the money brand-wise?

I would say what i use but would get laughed out of the state but it works for what im doing with them. Is their better sure and now with the price increases and ive banned myself from the stores i will have to find something else in the future.

I have been buying 1-4×24 LPVO from Tacticon and recently purchased a 1-6×24 from them. They come in nice packaging with a real decent mount and hardware including little spirit levels to aid instalation.
5.56, 22LR conversion, 300 BO, 7.62x39 and 6.5 Grendel all good with the 1-4 model. I just put the 1-6×24 on a 20" 6.5 Grendel but have not shot it yet.
The illuminated reticle is way better on the 1-4 model than the 1-6 where it is too small and dim to use as red dot in 1x. But the 1x target aquisition on the 1-4 is excellent for me shooting both eyes open.
I have been getting some discounts from Tacticon that has me paying less than $120 each for the 1-4 kits
I recently traded off an 18" 6.5 Grendel 3-9×50 Sig Whiskey that was decent glass for under $300.

Prices have gone up a little now, but a couple years ago, you could buy Zeiss Conquest 3-9 scopes for $300.

I have a couple older Nikon Buckmaster 3-9 scopes that I gave $100 each for, and they’ve been really good scopes.

I really wish they still sold those Nikons...those were great even compared to scopes that cost much more.
