Scope Recommendation for a new Scar 17s

Been wanting one of these rifles for awhile and finally pulled the trigger the other day. Gun was discounted at the store I went to and FN is currently doing a promotion til the end of the year where if you buy the 17S, you get a free Geissele trigger ($325 value).
Plan on getting some nice glass to go along with it. Going to use it mainly for target shooting and hopefully shoot some hogs with it soon. Thinking I want a scope that zooms (maybe 2.5-10x). Looked at vortex, nightforce, leupolds, and some Acogs (which don't typically have the soom). Nightforces seems to be the best but are also very pricy.
Anyone have experience with these or something else in the 700-1200 range.
Also, while I haven't got to shoot it yet, damn this thing is light and still feels very solid.
Thanks in advance!

Three great brands.
I would also check out Trijicon's Accupoint scopes. I love that they seem to be the one brand that can seamlessly incorporate fiber optics into their optics. Their products are also bulletproof and high value.

The SCAR 17s is very hard on optics, it has been know to kill quite a few high end optics as well. Do a good bit a research before you buy.
I'd opt for an ELCAN.

I think a USO 1.8-10 would be perfect on a scar17.
The vortex pieces recommended are awesome as well.
They do have a reputation of eating optics so make sure you get one with a good warranty.

You might could snag a Browe BCO for that much. Better glass than an Acog but looks just like it. If you could raise your budget, no optic looks more at home on the Scar than an Elcan.
