I've got a 4-16x vortex FFP on my bolt gun that ran around 800. Might have been 750, might have been $850. Illuminated reticle works nicely, pretty clear. Probably not all that much better than the PA scope, but fit what I wanted to spend. If you really want to go up to around $800, shop that range and you can always move that scope to a another rifle down the road if you decide you need to spend more. There are some damn nice (and expensive) scopes out there. The guys who really know what they're doing and what they're after probably love them. It would be a waste for me. I'm not all that good.
