IMO, it is really hard to beat the value of Bushnell's new PCL... I have one waiting to mount on an MR1 (being Cerakoted)... I've played with it, but haven't shot with it yet - based on pro reviews, I'm sure it will meet my expectations (based on price, I'm sure it will exceed)..
Vortex Viper PST 1-4x24 is another good consideration - I've been using one for a year or so (previously on AR, then on MR1 and now on AR again... one outing on 308 AR as well) and it holds zero, with no issues...
As you have probably read - Primary Arms offerings get very favorable reviews - and at their price point, it's hard to ignore.
The PCL and a good mount will come in under your target price.
