They sell the 8.5 to 25x from $150 to $200 which isn't a lot of money. For that you get a usable scope, the glass is OK up to about 20x and then you start to see the cloudy discolouration. The turrets are relatively positive and it tracks OK. The retical has a brown colour to it but is quite usable.
I have seen $500 scopes with worse glass and finish, I am not sure if you would get any satisfaction if something fails on you in a year or two. I have not been able to break one but I have had it less than six months. If warrenty means something to you, then don't buy it. If you get five years of use out of it, then you got a bargain.
The best thing they make is the packaging. The box it comes in is better than many $3,000 scopes.
