I have a cheap Bushnell 1.5x4.5 that cost around $70 when I bought it about 3 years ago. Surprisingly, it has held up well under the stress. It gets dragged up and down tree stands. banged off trees, been stepped on and shook to pieces everytime the trigger is pulled on my T/C Encore 50 caliber. It's still pretty well dead on out to at least 200 yds.. I don't think I would want to spend a shitload of cash on a scope just to abuse it. If your just gonna go to the range or out back to shoot occasionly then spend the money, but if your going to be hunting just buy a decent mid-priced scope, it's much less gut-wrenching when it's accidently abused.
