Welcome.
This probably won't go the direction you wish, at least for my part. "Cheap" and "high power" seldom go together, unless it is a lamentation for one's reality vs wish. I sit squarely in the "glass quality over magnification" camp, and I have a Tasco 6-24 sitting on a shelf nearby for just that reason. The simple fact is that good, long range optics cost money to make, and are complex (relatively speaking) optical devices. The first real step in the conversation is to quantify "cheap." What are our upper limits for the conversation? Our resident optics expert, ILya Koshkin, has a nice article on the topic here (http://opticsthoughts.com/?page_id=77) Next step is to define "high power." Finally, what aspect, exactly, are we discussing: optical clarity, ease of good sight picture, optical precision, brightness, ext? As usual, a good agreement on vocabulary and intent will determine how useful this conversation is. Without that, I can make a few recommendations, but they would be far from "cheap."

Thanks Alan,That's the best answer so far.I have a Bausch + Lomb two Nikons and a Weaver.I can buy anything I want, I don't plan to buy a cheap scope, I was just curious because everybody talks about fussy at the higher end of there scope.

Howdy colt1911 and welcome to the forum.
You're right about getting blurry or whatever at high end of high mag scopes. I thought your question should have been "Would a 32X scope rolled back to 24X be clearer than a 24X scope at 24X?" And that, I could not answer, but I'm thinking that the answer would be yes. Ps I have a tripnut friend that was whining not too long ago about his Hensoldt getting blurry past a mile. I almost couldn't stop laughing. |

You asked the question about "cheap" scopes. I have a Hensoldt 6-24x72… if you don't want any "fuzzy" image at long range, get one.
