What scope for $1500 to $2000

Most small busineses have one thing in common. That being that most of them will end up failing.
The ones that don't, also share one thing in common. That being that the owners are very good managers, and are also workaholics.
And that's especially true in the car business.
Ive had family in the car business for more than 50 years in what would be known as a very affluent area.

You can write off anything you want if your in business. Don't get audited and you (might) get away with it at least with the IRS.
Bankers are like a breed of cats, you are never a true friend of your banker. lol

If you can shoot the 147 ELD-Ms and get them as fast as I am shooting them in my Creedmoor, 2825fps, then it will be 61.25 MOA to get you to 1600 yards at 60 degrees and sea level. It's 38.5 at 1250. Shooting the 140s at 2850fps you will need 69.3 MOA to 1600 and would be 41.8 MOA at 1250.
Just received the Bushnell ET4305 scope today it has a total of 83 moa vertical adjustment. I also checked and with the windage set all the way 24 moa to the right or 24 moa to the left it still maintains 83 moa vertical adjustment. So that would be 41.5 moa elevation and with 20 moa extra with mounts I should have 61.5 moa before using the 6 moa with the mildots giving 67.5 on 30 power, 12 moa extra on 20 power 73.5 and of coarse 18 moa extra on 10 power.
I will be using RL26 so I should be able to see a bit better than what you are getting, but we'll see.

RL26 is a pretty slow powder. Hopefully you can get enough in the case. How long is your barrel? My velocities are from my 27" barrel. Haven't tried them in the 28" yet.

My barrel is a 26" X-Caliber, there are quite a few using RL26 in the 6.5 creedmoor and getting good vel and groups, there are many cartridges that will see an increase in vel at lower pressure from using it. It breaths new life into the 243 Win.

Well good luck with it. Come back to this thread and let us know how it does with the 147s.
