Yes, the price is all over. It would be hard for me to justify a 1300$ scope at this time. Sightron can be had for 800, and has a proven track record. Thats a 500 dollar gap between the Golden eagle and the S3 sightron. 500$= two Muellers haha.

I want more power than 24x, and I want 1/8" clicks. I'm open to others in the 200-1K range.

Thanks for the replies.
