Best Budget Scope for Deer Hunting Under $300

[Alan]

I'm looking for a budget-friendly scope specifically for deer hunting under $300. Any suggestions on options that provide good clarity and hold zero well? Real-world experiences would be appreciated.

Burris makes a decent budget scope as well.

Depends on the yardage and the firearm being used.

I wouldn't rule out a red dot.

I'm also looking. Have heard the strike eagle is good.
