Optics Guide 12/17 - Scope Price - What do you get for your dollar?

You've heard the aphorisms, and they're all wrong. Money won't necessarily get you a better scope for your purposes. Make sure you know what your price tag is getting you. You might end up with better glass or reliability, but often we're coming home with excess weight and features instead. This is where you need to listen to independent reviewers, like the ones I've listed below.
