Well I have one on my Savage .22-250 I paid $899+tax for it. The scope is great although above 25x it starts to blur slightly. I think for $899-$949 its a good scope for the money. Most 24-30x scopes of any decent quality are over $1000 so its in no way over priced. If your going to be using it past 600yds a lot and have it on 30x often then I would look at a different scope.
I don't know if the Sightron 30x or < scopes Mysticplayer is carrying have a better quality sight picture up on high but it might be worth sending him a PM to inquire if 30x is a must for you.
Me personaly I have no need for 30x the longest distance I can shoot on my property is 600yds and 20-25x is more then enough magnification for that distance.
