Most of the young crew today need 4x20x50mm, with big knobs and a reticle that looks like a Christmas tree. All to kill a Deer out of a tree stand-you mean you actually walk around?-at 100 yards.
Not all but very many, and admittedly there are some who use the new stuff with amazing accuracy....However, the outdoor shows have changed how America hunts...
I doubt they will find anything shiny in relics...

Now see locally everyone loves the newest and latest semi auto shotguns however when it comes to rifles the cheapest bolt action with the cheapest
3-9x40 is the most popular . Most of those being short actions like a 243 , I have actually never met another hunter locally that used a 30-06 which is often called the most popular deer round .
My favorite cheap and simple scope was the Redfield 4-12 Leupold was making a few years back .
I think the common advice you see " your scope should cost as much as your rifle" is misguided . The scope should best fit your specfic application you intend to use it for .
