Best bang for the buck, hands down - Athlon Optics Ares ETR UHD 4.5-30x56mm APRS1 Rifle Scope

Clear optics out to 24x, tracking is 99.5-100%, zero stop, generous eye relief, kick a** reticle, illuminated, super tactile turret clicks, tough....on and on and on. Coming from a mindset that you have to spend big bucks to get good stuff, this scope blew me away. Compared to scopes that are almost quite literally 3 times the price, I kick myself for not jumping on one of these sooner. I can sit here, rant and rave, and tell you all the good things about it, but everyone's already done that. I'll tell you my only gripe with this scope. The magnification ring is crazy stiff. Had to order a throw lever to ease that problem. Other than that, WOW!!
