It depends what you want, do you want fixed or variable, what sort of price, mtc do some nice optics under £300, I have a mtc on my .17 HMR it was about £250 and is a cracking scope, on my .243 is a vortex but they are more than double the price of the mtc,

I’m looking for a scope for deer stalking and sitting in a high seet. Will also be used for Fox shooting at night. Must be a variable and got around a grand to spend.

I’ve got a vortex viper HS-T 6 - 24 x50 on my .243 it’s around £600 and it’s a lot more scope than the price tag, very good in low light and it comes with a life time warranty

That’s worth a look at mate what size tube are on them? 

[Stavross 13,708]

30mm tube

Plenty of choice up to £1000,  but if you are not pushing silly distances some of the Hawke at less than half that price work fine.

Bushnell and Leupold worth a look.

Simple fact is there are too many, people will have their favourites (usually what they have) but that may not be YOUR favourite.

I would start by thinking about reticle, Objective and tube size, side focus or front, magnification range and then input all those figures and see what comes out in your price range!

This topic has Been covered lots of times. Do a search. Generally the person asking the question knows what they want even if it is unnecessary.
