    To exploit the potential of both your rifle- and the 6.5 CM cartridge; you will want the ability to dial for "come ups" at distance, a zero stop is nearly mandatory.
    FFP is great on a precision/long range gun because the hash marks- rather MIL or MOA- are usable at any power setting. Glass clarity and adequate magnification are considered a requirement for precision/long range.
    Old rule of thumb; "you're gonna spend twice on optics as what the rifle costs"- for those reasons.

    I've found a 3-15X or similar to be just fine for hunting to 600-800 yds. for deer (Whitetail/Mulie) sized game.

    Call up GA Precision and see if they still have any of the NEW LRHSi 4.5-18x scopes available for $750

    BEST for the $$$ in the price range. It's basically a $1,3000 scope for $750

    my #1 rec in your price range.

    Leupold has a 4-12x VXR from the hunting line in your price range that has several reticle and adjustment options.

    Ya, that's not going to happen!

    I'm just looking for a quality scope that can meet my hunting needs. The long range portion is going to be maybe 5% of my usage.

    But to the rest of your post. I'm glad to hear its capable of such things.

    I will never be shooting a deer that far, 350 yards is about max range.

    Optics

    The Barska 6.5-20x50 AO Varmint Rifle Scope is the one of the best. This Barska Varmint Riflescope gives you the advantage with long-range and deadly accurate targeting and it has high quality. https://www.atneu.com/smart-hd-weapon-sight

    The Sightron S-Tac 4-20 with the MOA2 reticle is my favorite sub $500 rifle scope. It has capped target turrets that dial repeatably and the glass is surprisingly good for the price point. It's a great scope for the money.

    I use a vortex razor HD LH 1.5-8x on my hunting rifle. Decent glass quality and seems to be a tough scope. I accidentally dropped it on a cement floor and it still holds zero...for whatever that is worth.

    The light hunter in 3-15x wouldn't be a bad choice if you don't mind an MOA reticle and spending a bit more.
