I think the Vortex PST 1-6x24 for $530 from DSG Arms with throw lever is the best bang for the buck out there.
And I say that after being an early adopter and my first scope had faulty illumination. The second one was one of the later batches and has been great. I like it so much that the Razor-E was a huge disappointment, which I returned and bought an NX-8. NX-8 is great but I don't like it on 308s but it's awesome on 5.56 ARs.
