I had a very similar question not long ago, and price versus performance this is the one that made the most sense to me.

A Leupold scope would have generous eye relief however I cannot say that it is a good idea to buy one, unless you buy one of their higher end models, which is out of your price range. If I couldn't spend any more money and eye relief was a major factor, I would get the vx-II in 3-9x40mm. A burris FF2 would can easily outdo a vx-II at 100$ less, but has a half inch less eye relief.

The Elite 4200 is a good choice.  I'm a fan of Burris Fullfield II and the new Nikon Buckmasters line as well.

 

Check out SWFA's "Sample List" as well.  Some great deals to be had on lightly used scopes.

I sold my Leupold II 3-9x40mm and put on a NIKON MONARCH 4X fixed power scope. A fixed powered will deliver the brightness and offer optics the variables costing much more. So if your on a budget or like me wanting quality optics and low weight. Check out the fixed power scopes.
