I honestly think that you get what you pay for, I think a good gun such as s daystate wolverine etc, deserves a canny scope , seen lots of good guns...
As I have said I know nothing about scopes so I am probably missing something because the two cheapy's seem very nicely made accurate, clear, smooth...
I think a good scope will improve a poor gun but good gun will never improve a poor scope.poor as in quality. My ratting scope is a Hawke Sports HD....
