What's the Tikka of the optics world?

For the money and quality and service after sale, Leupold is hard to beat, I never ever had an issue with any of them. That said I’m just a hunter, I shoot to develop loads for my hunting rifles so I’m far from shooting thousands of rounds a year and I do t shoot much passed 400m. But they work for me!
 
Since you mentioned glass as the priority, Swarovski Z3 and Z5. Won't find better. The previous non illuminated versions were very well priced for what they offered.
 
For me and for “set it and forget it scopes” its got to be Leupold. If a rifle goes sour and I have other brands mounted I pull the scope off. With a Leupold I pull the barrel off😂 i should put in the disclaimer that I seldom drop below whatever is the 3 series of the day, but sometimes go up.

If you want to spin turrets; probably Nightforce.
 
From my take of the OP's question he was comparing price for value respectively. Several have mentioned products that don't provide products that have similar quality for price comparisons. Maybe I'm missing something in the context of the OP's question but I think I get it....
Gold ring is my answer. Still affordable for quality with basically no dud products and a variety of affordable ones. Cheers
 
There’s a branspank’in new Leupold 2.5-8 in a shop not too far away marked down to less’in $700.00
Bin tempted, but…….🤒

Pretty sure this wood fit the bill.
