I think you should read this Athlon Argos BTR posted here a while back, http://www.snipershide.com/shooting...-review-thanks-to-doug-at-cameraland.6777815/
Less than your budget and a good scope

I just got a New Athlon Argos last week for my 22lr. I just got back from the range shooting it for the first time. I am very impressed. I have all Gen2 Razors and 1 Gen1 Razor on all my rifles and I am very impressed with the Argos. Got it new in the box in the PX for $325 shipped to my door.

Glass was very clear and zero issues zeroing or shooting one hole at 50yds. I did not test any further or dial elevation since a snow storm rolled in cutting my range session short.

You should be looking at SWFA SS 3-15x42FFP. I am sure it will be within your budget as soon as their tax day sale hits.

With Athlon, consider Ares BTR 2.5-15x50.

Generally, the $600 and under price range is not replete with FFP scopes that I would recommend buying. SWFA SS 3-9x42 is almost the only one I routinely recommend. However, there are sales out there and EE.

Find a used Bushnell DMR 3.5-21x50 for a little extra coin or the SWFA 3-15x42 is a solid choice.

Swfa 3-15x42. Love it on my rimfire but I'm soon to try one of the Athlon chinesium models because of all the good feedback on them.

Natchez Shooter's Supply has had some very good deals on Weaver Tactical Scopes recently. This one seems right in your wheelhouse. I've got a couple of them and find them very impressive for the price. Japanese construction and glass at this kind of money is beyond rare.

Not bad for a cheap scope, right!

I have 3 of them.
