You really cannot go wrong with Vortex. Their customer service is second to none. I just looked through one of the Horus Vision Predator scopes a friend of mine put on a custom build by Jeff Walker. The glass was excellent. He claimed he really liked the scope, and since he is a tactical shooting instructor, set some world records, and has won more than his share of rifle matches, his word is good enough for me. Still, for your desired specs, a Vortex Viper 6.5-20 may just suit your needs and it doesn't hurt that it can be had for under $450. There are a lot of good optics out there for the money you are willing to spend. My advice; spend your time before you spend your money, and find the one that suits you.
