For under $1000, you can find used Nightforce NXS 1-4's in excellent condition. While not daytime bright, the FC-2 and FC-3G reticles are bold and easy to pick up. And, of course, the optic is bomb-proof. I've used Accupoints and Accupowers on duty and felt their performance to be lackluster though they are well-built. The Bushnell SMRS 1-6.5 is heavy, but robust, and the reticles are also easy to use despite not having daylight-bright illumination. This only applies to the SFP models, the reticle on 1x in the FFP model is useless.
I know Primary Arms makes a lot of optics (magnified, red dots, LPVOs, prism sights) in that budget range that get pretty good reviews, but whether they are "duty grade" or not depends on how one defines that.
I have 2 Steiner scopes. They are very good. Are they "Duty Grade," As mentioned, depends how you define the term. Both of mine have seen many rounds go downrange without any issues. I also have the Razor Gen2 E. It is very robust and if forced to call it duty grade, I would. It is definitely a step up from the viper and actually lighter. They are on sale for $1,150 at europtics. https://www.eurooptic.com/vortex-raz...iflescope.aspx
Additionally, liberty optics usually has the best prices on vortex, so check them out.

I appreciate it, I think I’m
Leaning towards just saving up for the Razor at this point. Buy once cry once!
I'm not sure if you'd consider the Sig Tango6 1-6, they've won several military contracts and I think the FBI.

Sig's winning things left and right, and it's clearly been about political connections rather than truly making the best gear. So the fact that they won the contract might not be the best standard by which to measure its quality. That said, I don't say this to dismiss the Tango6; if it's good, it's good. I'm just curious how it stacks up to the similarly priced Razor II.
