If you can stretch the budget a little bit, as others have said, get a 4.5-27 gen II. I picked mine up used a couple weeks ago for $2050 and have been impressed with it ever since. You're not that far off.

Tangent Theta, March, Schmidt & Bender, Night Force.
For less look at the Vortex Razor Gen2 series.
After you have chosen the best you can afford, start saving for a quality spotting scope and tripod, find a spotter that has a reticle that matches the rifle's optic exactly in terms of adjustment increments (Mill/Mil, MOA/MOA).
That should keep you busy for some time.

Oh yah, thought good scopes where expensive until I started looking at spotting scope.

For well under your $1,800 budget you can get either Nightfiorce's 8-32x or 12-42x both have 56mm objectives and 30mm tubes. A number of different reticle styles are available.

They only thing "lacking" is elevation, very simple to rectify with a 20moa base. This will give you a 100yd Zero and elevation past 1K.

Thread jack question... For long range 2k plus what makes more sense. Something like the Tangent Theta with 30mil or elevation but 25 power, or Nightforce ATACR with 27 mil at 35 power?

A similarly priced scope with more travel and less magnification is usually the higher quality and sharper optics choice.

At a given price point, higher magnification rarely lets you see anything more.
Most people will turn their scopes magnification down to get better resolution and wider field-of-view when actually shooting.

I'm down to either a nightforce NXS 5.5 with the moar-t reticle or the razor gen 2

Go with the Razor Gen II.
The nightforce is a 30mm scope tube which means smaller optical path to carry the light.

With Optics planet discount this is about $1000.
I like the mil hash on the 25004 for hold overs without need to adjust the elevation.

Second the GEN2 for the same reason...and a WAY more forgiving eye box at higher powers.

So I coughed up the cash and ordered the Gen ii razor 4.5-27

[longrange1]

Good call....You will be very happy with that scope.
