Affordable Hunting Optics: Best Scopes Under $300

[Alan]

I'm on a tight budget and need a hunting scope that performs well without breaking the bank. I'd love to hear about your experiences with any reliable options under $300 that hold zero and have good clarity for deer hunting.

I have had good luck with Vortex.

Man I'm not sure there's much out there for that??? I do know there are a lot of guys that say Arken is the cheapest scope out there that holds zero, dials, properly, decent glass, etc.
