There are several good posts on this site. If you have a local range it is best to beg for a chance to shoot fellow shooters scoped rifles. What is good, no GREAT, for me may not hack it for you. Over the years I have bought, unseen and untried, optics that were a waiste of money. Would you buy a car without the drive ??? Most of us has DIFFERENT tastes in Autos. Optics are the same. Find what you want, then shop for a good price. You may spend more, you may spend less, but you will be happy. :2cents:
