Opinions on a good straight up hunting optic for $500-$700 dollars

I'm surprised nobody mentioned the SWFA 3-9 HD.

Any of the SWFA scope are a great choice. just pick the one in your price range and you'll be good. They are great scopes.

Hey guys, what all your opinions on a good hunting scope to go on a tikka t3x lite in 6.5 creed? Trying to keep the overall package around 8lbs scoped. This will be my 0-500 yard whitetail rifle and will also be for my boy when he goes hunting next year so I dont need anything fancy. Looking for something in that 3-15ish power range with an easy to use reticle. Illumination is nice but not a must. A low profile exposed turrent is a bonus. I've seen a few but just cant make up my mind. Trying to keep in around d 500-700 bucks

Look at the Burris Veracity 3x15x50. FFP with yardage hold overs. I really like mine.
