+1 for the HD5 3-15x42, given your $budget. But be patient and sttttreeetch the $ a tad & you'll get a 2nd hand VX6 for $1600 - 1800. Another option for your budget would be a Swaro Z3 4-12x50 but probably limit you to 750 - 800 yrds. Personally I think that's probably a realistic range for a SAUM on large game animals anyways.
