Eurooptics.com has the Nikon Black FX1000 on closeout. I was skeptical but when I got the 4-16x50 for $400 it’s a steal. Glass wise I don’t see a difference between that and pst II and clearer than xtr ii’s I have. Only complaint is turrets don’t line up perfectly. It has tracked true and has zero stop. It isn’t comparable to my Steiner T5’s or M5’s but it’s 20% of the price. A lot more value with the Nikon. I took mine out to 600 w/ 308 dialing with no issues

Look at Athalon Optics I have two of the Aries BTR scopes 4.5-27x50 purchased on sale for around $650
Supplies may be a bit limited right now ... Fantastic scopes that perform as well or better than Vortex and usually for less money.

This Nikon FX1000’s illuminated for under $400 are a good deal. It also has .2 Mil hash marks. I have one and my buddy just got one. We both like em!

I bought a scope from Texas Precision Optics for cheap. Didn't expect much but it is very nice for the money. It was around $300
