        Just my 2 cents.
        What are you doing with the scope?
        $500-$6000 gives a range.
        Glass is made in China, Phillipines I believe, maybe S Korea, Japan, very little in US, and Germany.
        Other parts, and assembly mostly that order.
        Features and options add up.
        Life is too short, time too valuable to waste with crap. If on a budget, start with the optics.
        Some manufacturers have different lines of scopes made in different countries. From the list above you can draw general conclusions.
        My kiss method is start at US assembly. Applies to red dots too.
        Scopes start at $1000+. There are definitely brands that are a total waste of money. Some even have counterfeits.

          Agree on what you’re saying. My sons look after that part. We split three ways our collection.

                A BLR is not exactly a precision rifle. It can be an great hunter. It's definitely better than minute of milk jug but Zeiss is pricey glass for a BLR.

                      Go to Ebay - find a used 3x9x50 Bausch & Lomb Elite 3000 - made in Japan for $300

                        Be very cautious of Chinese counterfeits. I've seen counterfeit Leupolds. If it's under $1000 you will regret it eventually.

                          But that BLR isn't going to drive tacks at 500 yards with a 300, 500, 1, 2 or $3000 scope on it...
                          They're a beautiful gun but Quiqley it aint...

                            No, 1 moa would be lucky.
                            My point simply is clarity, and light gathering. Leupold VX3s are $800.
                            I have $800 Bushnells and you can tell.

                              I was just thinking that the white death didn’t use a scope, my Finnish Heritage runs deep, my younger years I did very well without a scope but now with reading glasses or without it’s pretty tough to line up both sights and the target, a good scope works wonders for the far sighted.

                                Leaver guns are great heirlooms.

                                Used to see old Winchesters standing in the corner in every bachelor's shack.

                                Nice pac gun.

                                Not what you take on a trophy hunt.

                                Perfect just the way it is.
