The evolution of modern riflescope manufacturing means that you don’t necessarily need to substitute quality for budget; you can find a very capable riflescope for under $1000.
The key to buying anything on a budget is research. Many new shooters look for a cheap scope to learn with, but need more clarity with range and frustrations when trying to adjust the focus. A good quality riflescope should have decent fixed or variable magnification, an objective leans with clear scope clarity and a fit-for-purpose scope reticle. We recommend vortex riflescopes as a mid-level scope with prices between $269 - $539 and Beeman riflescopes as an entry-level scope with prices between $79.95 - $109.00.
