Vortex and Athlon have fine offerings in your budget and if you’re veteran, military or law enforcement they have a huge discount for you and both have great warranties. Leupold also has huge discounts for vets, troops, and cops. My eyeball prefers Athlons and others have their preferences. If possible go eyeball the scope before you purchase it as everyone’s eyes are different. IMO The standard leupold base and rings are the best of the inexpensive stuff. There’s just too many good choices if you wanna spend more. Burris signature series are good. Warne and larue are pretty decent also. The Spuhr are probably the very best that I’ve seen. I like my area419 hellfire Muzzle brake on my creedmoors but there’s plenty of good ones. If you watch the post exchange section under forums here you can catch really good deals on things like these. Welcome back to bolt guns.
