If it says China on it, it is junk. The Elite 6200 is a good scope. Some of the older Bushnell scopes are OK, but the only cheap scope I would buy is a Burris Fullfield II or Sightron S-II. Like Bioguy said, most cheap scopes and other optics are soon regretted and replaced. So why buy a cheap scope, then replace it with a better scope? Take the sum total and buy a decent scope on day one.

There is no doubt in my mind that Simmons scopes are the very worst scope that you can buy. When I was young, I went thru 3 simmons scopes in one season on a muzzleloader. the last time cost me the entire season. I haven't bought anything but leupold ever since and have never had one problem. Simmons are POS junk!!!!

Bushnell is better than Simmons. Both are considered low end scopes though. The Bushnell Elite series are very acceptable for deer hunting and their higher magnification scopes are very acceptable for varmint hunting. I even use a Bushnell Elite 4200 Tactical for long range varmint and antelope hunting. It has great features for the money but it is lacking in clarity and just a little bit in accuracy over higher end scopes. I would not recommend it nowadays though because there are better scopes for the money and its lack of a turret lock can kill a great hunt if you bump the turrets. I have to tape mine down and even then, they can move.
Consider a Vortex Diamondback in the $200 range or even better if you can afford it, a Vortex Viper. You will get more value for your dollar than with just about any other scope. You can't miss with Leupold VXII and above and will always be happy you have one if you shoot seriously.
