K.I.S.S. I do own exposed turret scopes. I put them on rifles I intend to shoot 5-600 yards. Besides that, a fixed for eastern hunting or a 2-7 is perfect for my other rifles.
I have learned a scope is an aiming device and the internals are more important than the glass. The cheapest scopes have never kept me from shooting in legal light but crappy internals have kept me from hitting what i have aimed at. Glad i verify every thing on the range before going to the field.
