If you're talking about the 4-16x44 FFP scope that they have, I've yet to see someone that hasn't really liked them for the money. I know I love mine. Glass isn't on par with Vortex or some of the bigger brand scopes, but it's certainly not bad by any means. Turrets track nice, eye relief is good for what it is, and the glass is surprisingly clear even at max magnification.
Only problems I've really ever heard of have been with defects from the factory, like canted reticles. In each scenario, the scope has been replaced no questions asked as they have a great warranty, so even if you do have any issues then you just send it back and get another one. Was going to put another one of these on my 6.5 Grendel AR because for $230, they're tough to beat.
Depending on your application, you might also check out the Swift Premier line of scopes as they're comparably priced and have magnification levels up to 32x. Though they're not FFP, I know a lot of guys that use them and are super happy. I've been able to look through a handful of them, and like the PA, the class is surprisingly clear for how cheap it is overall. Mueller I believe also has some offerings in that realm but have no personal experience with them.
The general consensus with the cheaper scopes is that, while you get what you pay for, they are certainly serviceable for some LR plinking or even certain hunting applications. The glass and features are about as good as you can expect from a ~$300 scope, but are certainly a viable option for those on a budget.
