I run both Vortex and Athlon and find the new Athlons, especially the Midas Series, to far outshine the Vortex in the best bang for buck arena. The Midas series, in the low $600 area, will have more options, magnification, etc. than what you are looking for so you may want to look at their other, less expensive lines, I’m confidant they will also be very good but do not have any experience with them.
Do not trifle in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy and taste good with ketchup.

Blanco mentioned the Athlon. I have two of their optics and am quite impressed with both. I would have recommended the Gen 2 Ares, but the price is not where it was when I bought in.

I'd look at Meopro by Meopta. I'm new to them, but the one I just bought seems superior to my current Leupolds, Nikons, and Burris. Of course the price might be higher than 600 unless less you find a special.

I would shop around for a VX-5 3-15. After buying the VX6 3-18 for twice the price I found out it was the same glass and mechanics as the 5 with lots of bells and whistles I didn’t want. I should have bought the 5. Excellent optics. If you’re not dialing I can’t recommend a better scope. I would shop around for a VX-5 3-15.

The glass on this scope is wonderful and very much on par with my VX-6 HD 2-12.
