There are only two makers of true Scout scopes, Burris and Leupold. Both are top quality, and both are well above your price limit.

Natchez Shooter's Supply sometimes has Burris refurbs and blems (both with full factory warranty) on sale. You will have to check their site often, as they go fast. Still, the price is above your limit.

Do yourself a favor, and resist the urge to "cheap out". Define your goal carefully, and then buy the best tool for the job. You never regret buying quality.

I have spent thousands of dollars learning this very sound lesson. There are few things more expensive than cheap tools.

Very true. Buying pre-owned quality may work for you though.

I put up a WTB listing on a few forums and found a well cared for, slightly used Leupold M8 Scout scope for a super low price.
