I went to a Redfield Rampage 20-60x60 and it was a big step up, but still wasn't all that great. I switched that awhile back to a Vortex Nomad, and I trust it out to about 350 yards or so, maybe 400. I can easily spot .22 holes on paper at 200 yards with this one and that is all I really need it for. It works really well for what I need, and didn't cost an arm and a leg. If I were to get a good one, I would probably look to a Kowa angled scope, a Vortex Viper HD, or Pentax PF-80ed or similar. There are a lot out there but they range from hundreds to thousands for anything worthwhile.
