I think,with a few exceptions, decent dependable scopes start around $400. After that you are paying for features and small increases in optical quality. I wouldn't spend $1000 just because I had it to spend. I would be looking at features and qualities I wanted that made it worth spending my money.
What are you wanting to do with the scope? What are your hunting conditions?
Example: You don't need high magnification, target turrets or a ranging reticle if you hunt woods 99% of the time and shots are mostly under 100 yards.
