Best optic under$1,000

[1911whore]

What is your go to for a best optic for long range or precision work under $1,000

5-25 is nice but seems like most are really large.
I am shooting a 6.5 creedmoor

i am looking at vortex viper pst or Leupold but open to suggestions

Have you considered maybe a fixed power? 12x, maybe 20 or 25. Old Leupold or Weaver target scope. Maybe an SWFA Super Sniper. You could probably pick one of those up for 3 hundred bucks or so. People really seem to love those.
