I went through this exercise recently wanting a scope for my target 22. I looked through the crossfire and clarity was a bit shit, jumped up to the diamondback tactical which had noticeably clearer glass. Opted for the 4 - 16 over the 6 - 24 as the resolution looked better in the lower mag scope. It's no swaro, but more than good enough for killing paper and silhouettes
Cheap scopes are mostly pretty decent these days but you really notice the lower quality glass once you wind the magnification up
