Vortex Razor Hd gen ii in the 1-6X24 flavor. I see them on amazon all the time for close to $1500. Pick moa or mrad based on what you like and you should be good to go. Amazing glass, greatest warranty.

You need to get a scope that you can slam on the counter at the store and still work.

Do you have rings picked out yet?

I'm putting a Leupold VX Hog on my new build. It's an SBR with suppressor. Already have the scope just waiting on the stamps. It has great clarity to it.

Using Burris PEPR rings.
This set up is maybe $400 though.

Or up your budget by 200 and get a Nightforce NXS 2.5-10x42

I don't have the rings picked out yet. I want a 12 to 14 power scope on this one with good low light capability.

I have a perfect Leupold VX-6 3-18x w/ Larue mount I'd let go for 850.

Awesome and extremely durable. Even the SHV which is there bottom tier has amazing clarity. For 1500 I think you could get a nxs 2.5-10X32.
