Heres a page with some scopes that retailed in your price range but are year end close out and at a very low cost. The Sightron optics are rather overlooked except by some long range match shooters and is viewed as a very good scope with there SII series.

How about the old standard for scopes. In your price range they can still do the job- http://swfa.com/Weaver-T-Series-Rifle-Scopes-C235.aspx
Not a lot of 1' scopes in the price range with high power that work for accurate shooting. Unless you have some very special rings it would be cheaper to replace the rings too and go for one of many 30mm scopes in the price range low enought to still buy rings,good rings. Good luck.

For target shooting I really like the Weaver V24 6-24x42 or the fixed magnification Weaver T24 24x40 target scope. Natchez has a sale going on that may save you serious money on a V24 depending on which reticle you want. A Bushnell elite (depending on the model) is a small step up from a Weaver Classic V-series and about on par with a Weaver T-series (T24 or T36) target scope. I'm very picky about optics but frankly at 50yds I don't see any reason to spend more on a Bushnell Elite when the Weavers will do the job beautifully. On the other hand if you were scoping a varmint rifle for 300-400yds give serious though to the Bushnell.

I'm really picky about scopes and have Burris Signature Select, Burris Tactical, Bushnell Elites (2x4200 and 1x3200) and Nikon Monarch (3) on my centerfire rifles plus I had a Bushnell Elite 4200 6-24x50 (now called an Elite Tactical) a few years ago and it was a really good scope but I sold it with the varmint rifle. The 4200 Elites were seriously fine scopes but in broad daylight at 50-100yds I doubt you'd ever notice the difference over the T24 or and little if any with the V24. Now if you are shooting in minimal light or shooting a centerfire at 150+ yards yes it would be well worth the extra $200 for the Bushnell Elite. The Elite 4200 series is a bit sharper than the Weaver Classic V series and I'm told gathers a bit more light.
Full disclosure my experience with Bushnell Elites is from before they folded the 3200 and 4200 lines into one product line and broke out the "tactical" models into a separate line. In other words I don't know if all Elites are 4200 quality or 3200 quality or if they are just 3200s and 4200s sharing the same badge.
This scope ranking from Chuck Hawks' site is pretty good.

My understanding is that the 3200 was essentially a Legend with the addition of Bushnell's Rainguard coating. The 3200s were by no means slouches but they weren't the same as the 4200. With a couple of exceptions the 4200 line had a 4x zoom range (e.g. 2.5-10x) while the 3200 had a 3x zoom range (e.g. 3-9x).
