Top Picks for Budget Scopes Under $300

[Alan]

I'm looking to upgrade my hunting optics for under $300 and wondering what everyone thinks. Any recommendations for scopes that hold zero well, offer good clarity, and can withstand rugged conditions? I'd love to hear about your experiences.

I suggest Vortex Diamondback, Nikon P223, and Primary Arms. My Diamondback was great for years, holding zero even with heavy use.
