Assuming I’m hunting deer, elk, pronghorn the occasional pig and I’m putting this on a 7mm RM model to be determined what is the most bang for the buck. Don’t need over 15 power but 10 at a minimum. Would like an option to use dial or reticle on a rare long shot 500 yards maximum.

$500 budget stretches 10% but not 50% unless you tell me it’s stupid not to do that. I like Zeiss & Meopta glass but don’t mind Leupold, Burris, Sightron, Trijicon or similar- rather USA, Japanese or Philippines manufacture than China.

Thanks for the help
