I would suggest Bushnell & Leupold as your best options for under $500, also Wholesale Sports is running low on scopes as they have been winding down operations for several months.
You don't mention your experience and shooting capability, a better scope does not automatically allow you to shoot farther; from the original post I gather that is the intent?
