I have the Burris XTR 1-4x24 on my 6.8SPC and it's a very good scope. In the same price range I'd also give serious consideration to the Weaver Tactical 1-5x24 for about $650. The only thing I don't like about the Burris is the warranty. The scope itself is covered under the usual lifetime warranty but the warranty for the electronics is only a few year. One thing to note is there is an angle where the red LED is visible from the front. It's kinda of an odd ahead and overhead angle but it's something to be aware of.

I have an Eotech and a good magnifier on my 5.56 and it's nice but for hunting I'd rather have the scope.
