Ok, all BS aside, what is a great scope for long range shooting?

I’ve shot to 1200 with a NF nxs 3.5-15
I kept the scope on 10x

With a 300mag it was spray and pray work on a silhouette target.

Athlon Cronus...but it's a christmas tree reticle. The best bang for the buck scope I own. I also have 2 Tract scopes that are excellent. You can get the 4-20x50 in a simple reticle.

You don't want "cheap" Chinese stuff but the upper-mid range Athlon scopes are very good as well. Look at the 5-25 TAC.

I have heard good things about Athlons and Tract. I will see about the 5-25 Tac. Maybe my local gun store has one I can look through.

And yes, I am sure the Chinese can put as much quality into their scopes as they would desire to, when they want to...

Or as little as they can get away with - as would often seem to be the case with Vortex!

I keep hearing that... makes me wonder if I really need any more magnification than that?
