    Other... Buy a used viper pst 1-4x and put it in a burris mount. Should run you less than 500$. If you went all new, it would be around 560$

    ditto the pst 1-4 (with capped turrets). even new from the right source you could do it for close to $500. It's the scope I'm using for 3gun.

    ps. probably get more input from competitors in the shooting sports forum....

    Another vote for used PST w/ or w/o capped turrets. You should be able to find a decent mount in the $50-75 range and the scopes run $450-$500 new, so the combination on a used scope should be comfortably within your range. With Vortex's "no-questions asked" lifetime warranty, many of the typical concerns with purchasing a used scope just go away.

    Thanks for all the input. I already have the Vortex Viper PST 4-16 and the Leupold VX-R Patrol 3-9. So some research and comparing the two, I decided to go with the Leupold VX-R Patrol 1.25-4
