Not perfect, but hard to beat a 34mm main tube for under $400 - Vortex Venom EBR-7C 3-15x44mm 34mm Tube Rifle Scope First Focal Plane

I paid $359 for this scope plus another $150 for scope mount. I have 3 other Vortex (all PST Vipers gen2). I don't use illuminated reticles so don't miss that.

The optical quality is great for the money. Is it as good as a ZeroComp, Kahles, Leupold or other top tier scope? No, you still get what you pay for, but the value for the money here is what caused me to purchase and I would do so again. Zero stop is more finicky to set up but am willing to deal with that. Elevation knob feels like my other scopes. Solid clicks. Windage knob is capped, but no big deal. The magnification ring snapped off as I was trying to tighten, but I know they will send another for free.

Weight and length are not bad either. If you're looking to get a 34mm main tube, first focal plane scope with decent features, this is worth your attention.
