Scope options/recommendations

[tiny's taxiderm]

So I won a ruger 6.5 cm on a superbowl square, but it doesn't have any glass. My question is, is the athlon scopes any good? What about sig ? Not looking to shoot no 1k yards, but possibly up to 500 yrds. Also not looking to spend over about 400$.
Let's see what yall prefer

Ohh and base/rings too

I Picked up 2 of these Burris's when they were $189 (now $199).

I also recently grabbed one of these Burris's with a 30MM tube -

I've also added this Burris to the mix and like its unique reticle and slimmer design for a 42mm objective scope.

This Nikon Looks to be a great deal as well-

Plenty of good scope options out there in the sub $400 range.
They will never be $1000 scopes (unless you get lucky or used) but they will do the job just fine IMO.

I just bought the Athlon Argos BTR and got it mounted. Haven’t had a chance to shoot with it yet but I like the clarity. It is a little heavier it seems, but the whole package is heavy and I’m planning to shoot off a rest, not pi$$ ant it around.

Burris Fullfield II or E1, Sig Sauer Whiskey 3, and Vortex Diamondback are all good options under $200.

For $400 I would buy a Nikon m1000 love mine for the money. 4-16x50

I would spend a little more and get another
Leupold, Nikon or vortex
My creedmore has one and it works, but I hate the eye relief.
Not impressed with “light gathering” early and late
