Scopelist.com had some Vortex Viper PST G2 3-18x44s for sale for like $550. Thats a great price and you wouldn't need to upgrade for 1k yds

What gun is all this going on? You plan to install a bipod and run a rear bag? You taking the bag hunting? Loooots of choices here. Really depends on how you want to set up, especially if it needs to be light enough to carry.
Mine is going in Seekings Precision 30mm Low rings on a Seekins 20MOA base. All in prob 200.
6.5 creedmoor by savage - single bolt action. I have an adjustable bipod. The stock is adjustable so I am content with that until I start getting some rounds in my preference will most likely change.
Rear bag?
Scope Level bubble?
Rail mounts?
Additional attachments? ...
I just bought one to put on a 22-250 varmint rifle. I shoot a Razor HD 5-25x50 on my comp rifle wit the same EBR-2c reticle. The glass is great on both. The edge goes to the Razor, but not enough to matter. For a hunting rifle, you will appreciate the 3x because of the FOV. Likely none of your shots will be more than 3-400 yds MAX, probably closer. You don't need anything more than 4-6x for that. When I'm shooting at 1k, I rarely go over 15x. Most of my shooting is in the 300-700 range and I stay around 10-12x.
To me, the Viper would be a badass 1st scope for your needs at that price.
OIC....I said I just bought the Viper PST G2 3-18x44 for my 22-250 but normally shoot a Razor HD 5-20x50 on my competition rifle. Agreed, only 5-20x50 in Razor HD G1A Gen 1 Razor was only a 5-20x50 from what I know. It might have been a typo.
Budget - $750
Intended use - potentially Elk & mostly target practice.
distance - 200 - 500 yards - (I'll upgrade for 1,000 yard distance once I get used to the gun)
Beginner to long distance shooting. I bought my gun two years ago and haven't put one round through it yet. Just need to get acclimated first and then upgrade. Type of lens I'm used to is tijicon for my ACR. Its just red lens. Sweet scope, but not like the long range scopes.
I just bought a Athlon Ares BTR Gen 2 2.5-15x50mm from Doug @ CameralandNY for more or less what you want. I don't have qualms about the country of origin (China), but that might be a concern for you.
I'm realistic enough to know there are no circumstances I currently foresee that have me chasing elk, but there's other stuff to hunt...
I had it out to the range for the first time on Father's Day after waiting 3 weeks for my Seekins rings and my initial impression is favorable. I don't find the reticle distracting when zoomed in, which is good. Running it on 2.5x, the reticle makes a nice chevron when the illumination is on, which is also good.
I haven't done any extensive testing as folks are wont to do on The Hide (no tall target, etc.) That being said, I bore sighted my rifle, measured my shots with the very handy for the purpose reticle, spun the turrets as indicated and was rewarded with bullets going right where I expected them to go.
Area 419 hellfire break is very effective. I didn't think there was much recoil before I put it on my 6.5creedmoor and after I put it on it felt like less than my adjustable gas block ARI just shot my creedmoor today first time. Love of God I need a muzzle break on that gun. Kick on it was unreal. It hurt every time. I have a double barrel 12 gauge that doesn't have near the kick on that 6.5.
Do you have muzzle break recommendations?

If the diameter works for your barrel I highly suggest the Ultradyne Apollo S brake. My 6 mm feels like a soft AR. And the noise level is not much higher than running withoutI just shot my creedmoor today first time. Love of God I need a muzzle break on that gun. Kick on it was unreal. It hurt every time.
