Anybody using one? I’ve got a cheaper rifle I want to put something on, and looking at cheaper options. My go to budget scope is usually a Burris Fullfield E1 30mm tube, but I can’t seem to find one.

Let me qualify this with I am not a big gun guy. So take it for what it's worth. I got a Sig Sauer Buck Master and put in on my AR 450 bushmaster. Looks similar to the canyon with out the red dot in the middle.
It's everything I could ask for in a under $100 scope. I haven't re checked my zero after season. So can't verify if it's held. More expensive scopes seems to be brighter in the low light conditions. Lens seemed to fog easily if I breathed on it in the cold weather trying to line it up. can you put something on it to stop that? Zoomed all the way in on the 12x you gotta be right on with your eye. Not sure how other scopes handle that. But for the cost I am not gonna complain. I can get a little ruff with my equipment inadvertently at times, so I refuse to spend big bucks on things I could break. I would consider another one if I needed it for something else.
Not a lot to compare it to. But it's some kinda reference.
 
I think I’m just going to buy a used quality scope. If it sucks, I’ll send it back, and get a new one.

Look into Athlon scopes. They don't cost Leupold money but are dang nice scopes if on a budget. I would rate them above the Vortex scopes I've looked through.

I have no experience with Burris or sig scopes. Sig guns are great. I wonder who is producing the scopes, could it be Nikon? I dont know if a leupold is in the budget you have set but the warranty is great. I have broken more than one leupold. They repair or replace for shipping costs. I sent them a 30 year old 2x7 with friction adjustments that had come apart. It was repaired. Test fired and mailed back with a thank you note for using their products. On another occasion 3.5x10 with the AO on the objective lost the adjustments. They sent a 3.5x10x 50mm because the other scope was no longer in production. I have 2 more older leupold at home to send now, a VXII 3x9x50 that has some fog on objective and a 1.5x5 that is 30 plus yrs old. After years on big bore rifles including a 458 WM it has finally lost its friction adjustment. Anyway they have my vote. No matter what line you choose and how rough you are on equipment they will repair or replace it. That is why I own dozens of them and have faith in the company. Just some of my experiences and opinion but good luck no matter what you choose and stay safe!
 
I've got a sig scope. Heavy and probably not at nice as my luepold but it's nice/ fine whatever. The weight is probably because it pairs with the RF and moves the dot if you choose to use it thar way
 
I found the Burris I was looking for. I just couldn’t find enough positive feedback on Sig to buy one. The rifle is for the little one, so I didn’t want to buy a $600 scope for him to drop out of a tree. Hence why I bought him a budget rifle, and a budget scope.
