Harry, in the $500 range there are many nicely made and durable scopes for hunting.
IMO I tend to go for Leupold VX3i series scopes. I have several and they are excellent for the money., but there are at least a dozen other quality brands out there for you to choose from.
BTW, I spent 6 years in Kalamazoo, my wife got her Phd from WMU. Nice town, great people!
