Yea you got time and the options are really going to be overwhelming with such a wide budget.

In my opinion the differences between a $400 scope and a $1000 scope are generally imperceptible on a hunting rifle so I've always stuck towards the low end of that. I have friends with Swarovski and nightforce scopes and I really can't see the difference between them and a leupold vx3. Maybe people have better eyes than me.

mostly agree with you, there is a huge difference between a $150 scope and a $500 scope, but not so much between a $500 and $1000 ...sans the side focus, ballistic turrets, illuminated reticle, etc, which means very little for the majority of hunting situations

That's where I'm at. I've found with most things, fishing reels, scopes, etc there's a sweet spot where more dollars buys you diminishing returns. For my eyeballs, that's $300-$500 for scopes.
