I'm looking for a new (to me) scope for my heavy barrel savage model 10 in .223. Its used %90 of the time for target shooting anywhere from 200-600 yards but I plan on trying to stretch the .223 out as far as I can in the future. I think a used scope from the EE would be my best option since I'm a student and a budget. I was thinking of spending $5-800 for a good used scope. Looking for good clear optics with reliable tracking. Just looking to get what others think would fit at this price before I spend the money.
In the market for a new scope.

The new Bushnell Engage 6X24X50 is both economical and performs well. I just put one of Savage 10TR and shot it last week, pretty dang good glass for the money, turrets track accurately and has a fair amount of elevation built in.t
You'll probably want either AO or side focus for target use.
If you can find one the Leupold VX2 6-18x40 AO are nice scopes. I have one on my 243 Tikka. For range use the target turrets are a real plus. Prophet River had a few left, they may be gone now.
The VX3i 6.5-20 is a nice scope also, but more expensive than the VX2.
