I found out about this guy and ordered one. Seems like a better option than buying from the "big box stores". I got a Kowa from him and it works pretty good. Don't forget to get a solid stand for it, tripod or "E" wing setup. Flimsy stands will shake and move around and if that's happening it really won't matter how good the optics are.

I'll second jarheadtop.com. Jim Owens is pretty much a legend in hi-power competition circles. I'd also consider checking out the CMP E-Store; they sell a quality entry level spotting scope (https://estore.thecmp.org/Catalog/Item/832). Nothing wrong with any of the other suggestions; just remember, you get what you pay for and your price range puts you in the "I'll be passing this on to someone else sooner than I expected" range. Check out product reviews on https://www.accurateshooter.com/ and https://www.snipershide.com/. Any of the precision rifle series websites will also have some good data. My .02 cents, HTH.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.

~ Marcus Tullius Cicero (42B.C)
