$400-$700 Hunting scope that is great quality?

FWIW i like the athelon but i stoot more tactically than hunting

A vortex strike eagle is a good scope. Ive beaten mine half to crap and it still tracks good. Its a bit heavy but more than doable

I REALLY like the Meopta Optika line. There is a new R5 out there that looks to have all the options you want in that price range. Glass is outstanding, side focus, and good reticles..........and my Optika6 2.5-15x44 tracks wonderfully. Hard to argue with that.
