I might recommend the 10X over the 16X, it is more usable at various distances; however, I too would recommend the SS line in that price range.
 
The glass is more than adequate and the elevation will get you to 1,000 yards with a .308.
Freedom is something you take.
Respect is something you earn.
Equality is something you whine about not being given.

I think I would save a little more and get something with a few more features and a touch better glass. That being said if 500 is your limit than I have heard nothing but good about the ss lineup

By the time you add good rings and bases your at the $500 if not more.

I'd shoot that at least once, so you know, forevermore, what good glass is not.
 
10X SS with TPS rings: done!
 
Or, as said a ove, save for awhile and get something with more features.
