Best Sub $750 optic for target and varmint - 2025

Another one of these threads sorry in advance. I am looking for a scope that is around the 5-25 power. Sub $750. I want at least 5 on the low end 25 on the max. FFP IR MIL, 34mm tube. This gun will sit on a varmint and target trainer rifle. I will also use it for 600 yard PRS matches. The gun is chambered in 223 with a throat and magazine that can accommodate heavy for caliber high bc bullets that the 22 arc would launch. My goal is to shoot varmint out to 600 yards. So my need on the clarity side is at 25 power I want to be able to see coyotes/dogs etc. at 600 yards.

I have looked at the following and am having trouble because I cannot look through them all side by side. Main contenders are strike eagle 5-25x56, Arken EP5 5-25 and the Gen 2 Athlon Ares ETR 4.5-30. I've never owned athlon or looked through one. The reticle seems good but I've read they have some tunneling. I really like on the strike eagles how the eyebox has almost no tunneling the body just disappears. The arken reticle and ir is actually preferred, I have found in low light fully illuminated reticles really block your vision. The strike eagles ilum is too much and not useful for low light. So in summary arken has preferred reticle as it's kind of hybrid target and hunting, strike eagle for the thin eyebox effect and athlon ares I have no experience and I hear lots of hyperbole on glass quality which I no longer believe what I read on the Internet lol. My thought is the glass on all three should be relatively close but you have people saying arken is just as good as night force atacr, same thing with ares oddly enough there are hyperbolic reviews of the strike eagle as well as a lot of people call them pieces of shit lol. Your insight and expertise is greatly appreciated...

SOLD ADM UIC Wilson Combat Super Sniper .224 Valkyrie AR15 Build

ADM UIC Wilson Combat Super Sniper .224 Valkyrie Build - Premium Components

I am selling a .224 Valkyrie AR15 build. I have never shot it but it should shoot good considering the components used. I do not wish to part this out at this time. Components used in the build:

ADM UIC Billet Lower Receiver
ADM UIC Billet Upper Receiver
Magpul PRS Lite Adjustable Stock
Cross Machine Tool 17" HDM-A2 ARCA Swiss Rail
Aero Precision 224/6.8 BCG (Pulled from another build has probably 50ish round count)
Wilson Combat 22" 224 Valkyrie barrel with black Armor-Tuff
Wilson Combat gas block
Geissele Automatics G2S Trigger (Pulled from another build and has probably around 1500 round count)
JP Silent Captured Spring Gen 2
Radian Raptor Charging Handle and Radian Talon Safety Selector

I have a little over $1900 in the build. Im asking $1500. Most parts are new and never used. I have noted the parts I pulled from other builds with approximate round count. You will need a flash hider or muzzle brake. I will ship one with it to protect the threads but its nothing special. There is minor scratching around end of the barrel which is pictured. Will ship in a cheap plano case and box to your FFL.

Rifle weighs about 8lbs 14oz unloaded.

If you are in Southwest Missouri we could probably meet.
