You're not far at all from a used or demo Nightforce SHV.
What ever Trijicon has the features you want at the price you like.
3-15 SWFA are in stock, under budget.
Right around the $1k mark gets you out of all the Chinese and Philippine scopes, and into the Light Optics Works line of OEM scopes. IMO this is the sweet spot for a reliable scope.

That is a smoking deal on a "very good" rifle scope. I still have multiple Burris XTRII 5-25x50 on backup PRS rifles and picked up a closeout Burris XTRII 3-15 for a hunting rifle. I am upgrading to the XTRIII as I can because the XTRIII has better glass than the XTRII. The XTRII have been very reliable on PRS rifles.
Thanks for posting - I ordered one of these XTR 4-20. Not sure if it will go on a hunting or competition rifle.

That's one of the reasons I bought the SWFA's. To shoot now, but to save money for a high quality optic at $1000 or hopefully more.

For the price range you are looking for, I would look into sightron or burris. And watch for demo models and closeouts to get 25-50% off the retail price. Both @gr8fuldoug with cameraland and midway have very good prices on sightron than burris. If you jist watch sales and specials, for that price some decent scopes can be had. Also watch the classifieds here. Some good prices come up on used ones.
Midway has one Burris XTRII 4-20x50 1rstfp, refurbished for $700. Have two R25's for under $500.

I am curious how the Riton scopes are ? I never really took the time to look through one. I did the same thing when Burris came out. They were a affordable option at the time. But I figured they were junk based on price point alone. And now I kick myself for not giving them a try. Just curious how long have you been running them ? And what are you using them on ? Small caliber & up ? Have you found them to be a better option as to the Arken ? I kind of get that feeling in your initial post, lol. Which Riton series have you played with ? I did pickup a red dot for a shotgun. It actually came with a Rem pistol ammo purchase. Just never got to mounting it. But it definitely seems well built for the price point.
I have about 8 riton scopes from the x1 to x7
I really like the newer 3 primal 3-18x50 ffp hunting scope. I have two of them. Havent put it through all the paces yet.
