If you spend any time behind scopes you will see the difference in the optical quality of scopes.
My adjustments to your list?..
$300 - $500 = So so for a .22
$500 - $700 = bottom rung of possibly acceptable for a hunting scope, meaning decent glass.
$750 - $1000 = Getting to the more acceptable glass but not real good, still only for hunting scopes.
$1000 -$2000 = Really too big a spread but if you shop you can find a pretty decent scope.
$2000 -$3500 = Again too big a spread $ wise...3k+ is where you're gonna find really good scopes. If you shop you might find one that rates this much new for a little less used.
$3500+ Naw....but for me it'd be a one time buy...in other words it'd be the first one and the last one I'd spend that much for.

I'm sure it's just me but $3,000+ for a scope without thermal imaging is ridiculous. The new price point for "high end optics" is 2k-3k Vortex gen 2/amg Nightfoce ATACR S&B on sale are high 2ks low 3ks (depending on model) Leupold Mark 5/6 Bushnell elite tactical series It's silly what they cost, but the ones that are worth it sell like hotcakes. You'll notice that the S&B, Vortex Gen 2, and NF ATACR all sell very high even used. Try pricing out a Hensoldt...who needs that second kidney anyway?
Are you going to pull those pistols, or whistle Dixie?
