Meopta Optika 5, Meopta Meosport R, Trijicon Credo, Zeiss Conquest V4
The first two are under budget. The others a little over and you have to shop around.

Look at europtic or optics planet. Both are good stocked and priced. For that budget you’re not going to beat a Vortex Viper HS.

Another vote for the Optika5 line of scopes. I think the 3-15X44 would do you well. I'd use a Z Plue reticle option to dial in the drops using Strelok Pro. Nice of AR to list a few places to find the scope, they might even have a deal going on if you ask. Very nice glass and the Optika line hits way above its price point.

Red Hawk Rifles has the Ziess 3-12-44 V4's for 549. Best value in optics IMO

I bought a zeiss conquest v4 3-12x56 with illuminated reticle before the beginning of this hunting season and I've been really happy with it so far.

What kind of terra , open land or timber? Average shot distance? Longest possible shot? I have killed them at 275yds in a pasture, 230yds in a power line. Woods are open in some areas for 150-200 yd shot. I won't shoot beyond 300.Lots of elevation changes and some flat shots as well.

I still like the original Zeiss Conquest enough that I have 3 of them. I've seen several under your budget on 24 hour CF in the last week or so.

An original Zeiss Conquest is still the best deal going at this price point imo.

I got the Zeiss v4 3-12X44 and installed it on my AR10 the other day. Replaced a Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44. The Vortex is good, the Zeiss, well its just better.
