Well, if the price range is $1000 or less, I'd be looking at a Trijicon TR24, Leupold VX-6 1-6x w/ firedot, Pride Fowler 1-4x, or GRSC 1-6x.
But, frankly, I'd rather have the right $300 scope on my $2000 gun than the wrong $800 scope. Price is just a factor...

I know two people that have them and like them but haven't used them much. My brother bought one and returned it because the reticle was canted. The one they replaced it with was the same way. He got his money back and is considering other options.

Here are a couple high value optic packages I picked up for my Sports - middle is Leatherwood CMR 1-4x24 in a Burris PEPR mount. On the right is Aimpoint PRO red dot. Both are excellent!!
Review on the Leatherwood:

Buy the package at SWFA with the mount for under $350.

Can''t comment on 1-4x, but, I've got a couple of the Nikon ProStaff 2-7x scopes and I REALLY like 'em!!!!
Great glass for the $$$.
You just can't beat the Nikon ProStaff 2-7x. It will do anything you need it to do. Within reason of course.
Great clarity even at dusk and dawn. Many a Bambi have fallen prey to the power of the ProStaff. Works equally well in dense wood (2) and open field (7). And if ya ain't sure, set it on 4.
And don't let anyone in here tell you you can't put a so-called "Fud" scope on your AR platform either. Unless your a trained sniper and going overseas to "Get Some", all the extra bells and whistles and tactical knobs don't mean Jack. Set it and forget it and use hold-over when you need it.
K.I.S.S. works.

^^^^^^^^^^^This in a nutshell^^^^^^^^^^^^
And please don't take this the wrong way, but most guns and most scopes can out shoot their owner.
It's the man behind the gun and the glass. Not the gun and the glass itself.
I'm not telling you to mount a 35 dollar Simmons with 10 dollar Weaver rings, but you don't need to spend 800 dollars either. The whole object is to have fun, not go broke in doing so.
Just my .025
