I don't know if there is such a thing as a magic dollar value for a scope.
A couple of years ago I bought a rifle from a friend, it was from a good company but he had misplaced the test target that came with it. There was a decent scope on it, I couldn't get it to shoot, changed it to another good brand with no real results. The best I could get was groups in the 1/2 to 3/4" range. For some reason I put a 3x9 Vortex on it, bore sighted it, and the first three rounds were in an incredible small group. I may shoot for a while and not get as good.
The first scope was a 3200 Bushnell ( I forget the power ) and the second was a 6x18 Leupold AR and they were bested by a $300 3x9 Vortex.
