well if i can get a good scope for $300 and i might end up putting a bipod on it and also new bases and rings, and target knob if i have enought. But if its that much worth it i would put it all (500)into the scope
So i just need something that a lot of people would recomend, shots from anywhere from 50 to 600 yards. any sugestions would be helpful

Not only are they not in the same league, or same ball park, they are not even in the same county. STAY AWAY.
Sorry, not fond of their stuff.

All the scopes in the $350-$500 price range are very close, it comes down to personal preference as to what particular features are best for you, but all should provide pretty good service. Is this scope for huning or range work?

Get the Zeiss! Do yourself a favor and make a list of what you expect the gun to be doing most of the time. Identify areas of critial need. The more stuff you can knock off the list the happier you will be.

4 months ago I picked up a new Conquest 4.5-14x44 for $525 and it was money well spent. For that kind of money I would be buying a Conquest or VX3 or Elite 4200 or Nikon Monarch. In that order.

If all you want is a 3-9X, I'd just buy a VXII Leupold and save the rest of the $500 for the other stuff you want.
They have a solid rep for reliability and lots of options for customizing. OHE.
