I am thinking of buying this scope off amazon

Found here

So, is this a good buy?

Is this a decent brand?

I live in western washington and rain / moisture is a issue and I want to get a 6 - 24x50 mm Mil Dot Rifle Scope that wont break the bank.

I have a Savage .308 but I might get my hands on a savage in 300 win.

anyways I appreciate all feedback.

Thank you!

I'm not familiar with that brand.
I saw that one of the better known optics companies just put out a fairly cheap 6x20 or 6x24 scope.
Ol' Phartness prevents me from remembering who the hell it was.

It's been my experience that you get what you pay for, especially in optics.
Buy once, cry once. If you are going to shoot a lot, spend the money and get a good scope.
Also, be aware that there are a lot of fakes out there.

Leupold released this counterfeit warning last year.

There are also some fake ACOGs & Aimpoints that Obamas buds, the Chinese are putting out as well.

The Vortex scope tested has a retail price of $509. The scope listed by HTM has a listed retail price of $200. This is a considerable price/quality difference.

Considering optics, with very few exceptions, you get what you pay for.
