Agree, and would point you towards the Sightmark Wraith 4k with your budget in mind. One of mine is the Wraith 4-32 HD and to tell ya the truth, its been a good little scope for the money. This will get you started anyway and get you an idea of where you want to end up. Warning...it is a rabbit hole.
