When you say "1000 yard optic" if your shooting a fixed distance you might look into a fixed power optic.
You'll love the Vortex 6-24X 50mm and work perfectly for the distance you want to shoot and more!
For that price range I love the vortex viper pst. Great scope that tracks well and glass isbon par with mid range leopold
Anyone tried out Bushnell customer service lately? I hope I never have to call them again.

Bushnell Elite Tactical 3.5-21x50 TRMR2 Scope ET35215T On Sale
Other than that my second choice for your price range would be the SWFA 3-15.

Bushnell and SWFA make much superior optics to non razor vortexes. I would go with either of them way before I would touch a pst or HS.
Quality japan glass vs filipino . Read the forums, for every issue with an ET or SWFA there are 100 vortex failures.

I had a good conversation with a Bushnell tech/service rep just last week. After I'd explained what I'd done to confirm the value of the clicks of my scope, he agreed that there's a problem, and is sending a call tag for return shipment. To top it off, he'd actually been to the range where I shoot practical steel matches, and so has an excellent understanding of what I'm using the scope for. Don't have the call tag yet, but if they carry through on the issue in the way he indicated, I'll be satisfied.
Watch this.

I have been running a Sightron 2.5-17.5 S-Tac for a while now.
After an initial hiccup, it has been running great.
Excellent reticle, very good glass and very good build quality.
Though the objective is larger than I would like, I would personally pick it over a PST.
It is made in the Philippines as is the PST series, but sightron actually owns their facility there, they don't contract manufacture out like Vortex and Burris.
