I picked up the 3-12x44mm LRHS at a banquet last fall for $600. Most folks thought I was crazy for spending that much for a Bushnell, but they didn't know what it was.

It's currently on an AR, but has spent some quality time on a 7 rem mag, and muzzleloader.

To address the question, it's a fantastic scope for the money.

For the price range/features you are looking for, I'd also look at the Nightforce SHV 4-14x50mm FFP. Either should make you an excellent scope.
