Rifle Scopes Best LVPO for 600

Have you considered the Athlon Optics Cronus BTR 1-6x24 SFP - ATSR2 SFP IR MOA
FEATURES
  • HD Glass: HD Glass gives you better light transmission, brighter, and sharper image.
  • Illuminated Reticle: The illuminated reticle provides greater visibility during dusk and dawn and other low ambient light environment.
  • First Focal Plane Reticle: First focal plane reticle stays valid at all power settings allowing you to fully utilize the specially designed reticle that shrinks or grows along with your target as you zoom in or out. The reticle offers quick target engagement at low power while offering precise holdover positions with finer details.
  • Etched Glass Reticle: Reticle etched on the glass that provides excellent backing support for complex reticle design and offers great durability and much higher shock resistance to recoil
  • Advanced Fully Multicoated: Fully Multicoated optics effectively reduces reflected light and increases the transmission of light giving you a brighter image than normal single coated lenses
  • XPL Coating: XPL Coating gives you an extra protection on the exterior lenses from dirt, oil and scratches or anything else mother nature can throw at you.
  • High Precision Erector System: The high precision erector system processed by high precision CNC machine with +/- 0.0001mm tolerance level to provide you the most accurate power settings and smoothest magnification change
  • 6061 T6 Aluminum: The 6061T6 aircraft grade aluminum tube that has exceptional strength and superior mechanical integrity will protect these world class optics no matter what punishment you throw at it.
  • Exposed Tactical Direct Dial: Exposed Direct Dial Turrets for elevation and windage allow you to quickly make adjustment as you needed and engage your target within a blink of your eyes
  • Locking Turrets: This Locking Feature allows you to push down to lock the turret and pull up to turn. This feature prevents the knobs from being turned accidentally and keeps your zero all the time.
  • One Piece Tube Construction: Heat treated one piece tube gives the scope extra strength over multi-piece tubes. A one piece tube also is better at keeping moisture out thus keeping your scope fog proof for the life of the product
  • Waterproof: Waterproof to protect the scope in the harshest weather conditions or if accidently submerged underwater
  • Fog proof: Fog proof to allow you to immediately engage your target when you take your rifle to cold ambient temperature from warm inside
  • Shockproof: Robust mechanical system with special designs on both control and erector system that give you the ultimate recoil resistance to withstand 1000G recoil for 1000 times.
  • Argon Purged: Argon Purging uses the inertia g

Given my experience with other Athlon Cronus products, the 1-6x24 Doug (CLNY) has linked above for $750 is hands down the best in this price range.
I just bought one and I don't have a rifle for it.

edit: I just re-read the specs and although SFP is in the description twice, the specs indicate FFP. If so, not for me. LPVOs with BDC reticles and daylight bright illumination need to have reticles in the SFP. I'll call when they open, and may be cancelling my order.

I Have 2 Razor GII JM1 reticle 1x6s (SFP) and one Bushnell ET 1624 SFP BDC LPVO. Excellent scopes.

Tried 2 1-6 FFPs, a Bushnell ET 1624 and the SWFA 1-6 (excellent scope otherwise) and my LPVOs will always have SFP BDC reticles.

Just got off the phone (someone picked up an hour before they open, that's service!) and confirmed SFP reticle. No tax and no shipping, so I didn't even try to squeeze them for a SH discount... getting soft in my old age.

Also, practically everything I've ever ordered from them arrives in one day even with free shipping.

I sold a friend an AR and he's got terrible vision. Probably pawn this or the Bushnell off on him. He's gonna need it.
