Best Budget Scope Options for Deer Hunting Under $300

[Alan]

Looking for reliable options for deer hunting that won't break the bank. Has anyone had good luck with scopes under $300 that hold zero and provide decent clarity? I'm particularly interested in durability and user reviews.

I'm hooked on Vortex Optics. I have them on my muzzleloaders, rim fires, and centerfires. I have a 3-9×50 Diamondback that I paid about $250 for that I put on my .50 Beowulf and after several hundred rounds is still holding zero perfectly and if you know the "Wulf" you know how much of a feat that is. They told me when I acquired it that if the price of ammo doesn't hurt ya, the recoil will.
