Do you where glasses all the time when shooting?
Then your going to need a scope with long eye relief.
At $300 I found the Konus 20x60x80 to do well enough on good bright days i could pick up 22 holes at 200.
dont get fooled by magnification and objective size
80mm is pretty big and bulky. Knowing what I know....I wont by a scope with out
45' lens
Rotating body
And get a pole stand. Tripods get n the way.
what is your end use. Even high $$$ scopes can have a hard time picking up holes in targets at 200 yards. Thats really not the purpose of the scopes anyway.
the bigger the lens and the more magX it has you will loose clarity and resolution on the lower priced scopes. The glass is the important part and the most expensive piece IMHO.
Heres the Konus I had , if it did not get sto len I,would still have it.

Last thing , TR Y as many scopes as you can .
lots of cheaper scopes cast a hue of gold/blue on high X especially at close range. You will also loose clarity on the edges.
To give you a idea my celestron is a fixed 27x and most days I can see 22 holes at 200.
My other cheap scopes even on great light days cant pick up 22 holes at 100. No matter the MagX
