Midway was running a discount promotion on optics last week and I picked up a Vortex Golden Eagle HD 15-60x52 with the SCR plain reticle. Took it out to the range this morning, got it on target at 50 yards, then shot some .223 53gr V-Max at 100 yards at 20X-30X. With this limited trial, I am pleased with the scope so far. The eye relief is pretty good at higher magnification and I like the fine duplex reticle.

Thanks again for all of your suggestions and advice. I felt a lot more confident making a buying decision with the knowledge I picked up here.
