My choice would also be the Sightron fixed 36X. My reasoning is this: until you reach a certain price point, variable scopes are going to become unusable before you reach maximum power, often well before. That has been my experience. There is a reason why top tier variable scopes are so expensive. The glass, the coatings, the precision of construction.... all the things that inexpensive scopes just can't match.

I own two Sightron SII 36X42 scopes. They are not my favorite fixed power scopes but at the price point they are the best you'll find and are better than the variables I've owned. The Sightron will do the job at a reasonable price.

This matches my experience. I have a couple of 36X SII. They work fine.
