First thing I would do is go to Bass Proshop, Midway, Cabela’s, Optic Planet, Optic Zone, etc and see how the scope is rated by customers.
When I was looking for a shotgun scope, I looked at $55-$499.00 scopes at gun shows, sporting good stores, etc.
I found that the Banner Dusk & Dawn looked just as good for $89 (side by side comparisons- indoor, outdoors, day/night) as the Nikon (huge Nikon fan) slug hunter, etc did for ????. It holds zero just fine (firing 3 ½ magnum in 12 ga) , pretty clear at night for the price and what I use it for.
However, I do recommend using tactical style rings for strength/hold.
Anyway, when looking at scopes there a lot of considerations (construction, glass quality, usage, etc).
Good Luck
