I bought one of these.

Haven't mounted it yet, but it's in your price range and supposedly assembled in Sisters,Oregon from Chinese parts. At least they're up front about where the parts come from. 3.75 inches eye relief and the glass looks very good. Nice overall build quality for the price. Also non AO.

Don't know if this link is against forum rules as I know the owner sells Leupold products, if so just delete this post. But Leopold doesn't unfortunately have anything in this price range.
