Magargal, that's usually what happens if you go to Turners in Kearny MesaIf you haven't already, go see John at Precision Arms at 250 W Crest St C, in Escondido. He's in the upper right corner in the little strip mall. If he doesn't have the scope you're looking for or the scope you want, give him a week and he'll have what you want waiting for you. He scored me a bitchin' deal on a Schmidt and Bender PMII. Great guy to work with!
Gen 1 or 2? Gen 1 was awful. Gen 2 is decent, but the scope you're talking about it is 2.5x to 3x the price. I'm not saying they're the same...I'm saying the difference isn't 2x-3x the performance.
Anything past $1000, you're probably also paying for living wages and environmental regulations. Cheap also has a price but that is beside performance.
The higher one climbs in any technology the small incremental steps of improvement come at an exponentially faster growing price leap......glass, horsepower, speed, cornering, women... Stretch your envelope on the scope performance you need. Don't nibble on the low dollar side and end up doing a second or third bite to get what you need. That ends up wasting more, and being very frustrating. Save a little longer or sell an extra kid to get the performance....not necessarily just glass. When buying a scope, buy the glass that looks acceptable to your eye....very subjective......but spend like ya got it on repeatability, reliability, consistency. Those traits are the steel ringing, meat taking, money makers. You can't hit what you can't see, but even if you see it, you can't hit what you can't precisely dial the solution. There are a lot of "scope snobs" out there that spend money just to have something others can't reach. Talk to PRC match winners. Inquire what tracking factors they have to apply for their scopes. Those that run zero are using the best scopes.....and that's why they are winning. Buy there. I've had good performance with Leupold Mark 5HD scopes. I run the 7-35x56. Bought two recently at under $2100 delivered, and got a Leupold rebate Kestrel Hornady 4DOF with each one....$499MSRP. The 5-25x56 could get close to your budget with astute shopping, negotiating...free shipping, buy out of state to avoid sales tax, group multiple unit buy, etc.
That silence at the end of life when one is dying alone is really deafening. The kid noise and destruction go away reasonably quickly. Kinda the entry cost to being a family. If you break those kids in right and set the right role model, you won't find a greater, more satisfying Return On Investment in your life. Especially when the roles reverse with aging. You'll wish you had some one that appreciates what you "went through/gave up"....really not much in real terms. Things you amass in place of kids won't put warm fuzzies in your heart, give you memories to relish when you can't do anything else, give you grandkids (even better than the original kids) wipe your drool, steady your gait, help you bathe and dress, provide a comforting hug, deal with whatever you will eventually die of. Not having kids, and being a great parent, is the biggest missed reward in life. But, then, if one doesn't understand that, it's best that one doesn't have kids, and don't pass on their genes. That's what we are reaping in big city minority communities today. No Father; all Baby Daddy. I recall fondly the "noise and destruction" in raising a young man who became a Navy doctor and saved the lives and limbs of brave young Marines fighting for our country. Kinda my legacy. What will be yours? An empty dirty glass? YMMV
Everything looked like a laser lithograph!

People keep saying that. Right now I'm in the middle of just coming out of "Oh f*** what did I do" stage, still in the noise and destruction and only getting tiny shreds of the payoff. But now at least my wife is starting to talk to me normally again OCCASIONALLY and he's just over 3 so he's cognizant of some stuff and wants me around when I'm not there but have to work (or, currently, do applications all day long to get new work)) but not to the point of concentrate and learn what I want to teach him. Some crap happened with the wife's family and they've weaseled their way into living with us--I hear it said all the time "There's no right time to have kids" but holy crap it's like saw off your right hand or your left hand. Theoretically would want to have another one or two to keep my little guy from being lonely through life but absolutely cannot go through the crap again of my wife being super paranoid and Jeckyll/Hyde, the losing sleep thing, everything endlessly is dangerous somehow, learn about 300 new possible diseases and disorders possible for your kid to have at birth, before, or anytime in life, 527 extra steps/procedures to your day, etc.That silence at the end of life when one is dying alone is really deafening.

Your custom $5000 rifle that gets the same accuracy as a $300 TC Compass in the real world looks way better with a $5000 March optic and frankly it’s impossible to hunt deer without that kind of kit.
Just the facts...
