Absolutely agree.

Before you buy a NF Beast, try to get some time with one. I wasn't crazy about the turrets.

What Peregrino and koz said. The H59 is a fantastic reticle. No futzing with turrets to compensate for windage and elevation. I have an original Horus Blackbird with the H58 on my 16" .308, and it is super fast and easy to use. The H59 adds a mil to each side of the H58 Christmas tree and has an open center. The Blackbird is 1.5-8x power, has nice glass, and is a solid build, but you will probably want more magnification if you're engaging out to 1000 yards. In fact, aside from stronger illumination, my only major complaint with mine is that I wish it had stronger magnification for longer shots. But for a sub $1000 scope (that's retail - I got a smokin' on mine), I feel it's hard to beat and I have been very happy. Check out Horus' offerings. They have variables that go up to 26x magnification.

Bushnell AR Optics 4.5-18x40mm BDC Reticle, Target Turrets Matte Blk

Looking at this to put on a .223 Wylde 18" match upper. At $150 it looks like a great deal.

I have not shot that particular optic before, but I would not recommend it, even for a redneck deer rifle.

Bushnell continues to make a line of lower quality economy scopes while making the very nice high end products.

Even with Bushnell, you get what you pay for.

Just a heads up.

Before you pull the trigger on that one, take a look of this one too. Tons of bang for your buck, and flawless review

Solid scope from a solid company. Had to return a defective TRS25 the other day, less than 24 hours I received the RMA and a few days later I received a brand new, working TRS 25. Excellent customer service like what I used to get from Larue

I know this is a little late, but here is my vote for a decent "high-end" optic for a "low-end" price:

http://www.leupold.com/tactical/scop...r-riflescopes/

Don't let the AR in the name fool you. I have four of these and three of them are on bolt guns. I have two 3X9's and two 4X12's. You can get the 3X9's for around $300 and the 4X12's for around $450. Some of the money you save can go towards a quality base and rings where many guys try to go cheap.

Other than the Leupold quality and lifetime warranty the two big things I like about these scopes are:

1. You can order a custom BDC from Leupold for the exact round you are shooting for about $65. You provide them the data, bullet weight, BC, muzzle velocity, temp, altitude, etc and they plug it in to their ballistic computer and laser etch a BDC for that round. I have one for 5.56/77 gr Sierra Match Kings, .308/168 gr Match Kings, and .243/95 gr Match Kings and they are dead on for range. For hunting I use .308/165 gr Game Kings and .243/100 gr Game Kings and the BDC are solid for normal hunting ranges (4-500 yards.)

2. The new MOD 1 P5 dials are all in Mils as opposed to MOA. This makes corrections when shooting unknown distances a lot simpler especially if you match it up to a MILDOT reticle.

Here is a decent review of these scopes:
