You don’t need to spend a fortune to own a decent optic that won’t break, fog or fall out of zero at just the wrong moment. Here are five excellent riflescopes you can get for under $200.

Meet Leica’s new ER 5 line of German-engineered, American-made riflescopes, which have been designed with American hunters in mind at a price point many will find much more agreeable. By manufacturing the scopes in the United States, Leica is able to save on import duties and high German labor costs, which translates to lower prices for consumers.

While it is expensive, the Elite 6500 is also one of the most versatile scopes on the market.

Among all the world’s riflescope manufacturers, Nikon has arguably done the best job of making it easy to buy the right scope for specific shooting jobs.

If you’re looking for extreme versatility in a bright, sharp, high-contrast scope, the Optika6 should more than meet your needs.

Built for accuracy and quick target acquisition in the most extreme environments, the X3 Primal 3X-15X-44mm is a 30mm main-tube, 5X zoom range scope covering magnifications for hunting anything short of lions and buffalo leaping out of the brush at 10 yards or less.
