Biggest problem with most LPVOs is that they don't have parallax adjustment for TGT shooting.
They are a compromise geared towards being well-rounded for close work, and intermediate range shooting with trade-offs that good TGT scopes don't suffer.
I'm not sure what direction to go on a $500 budget if you want a scope that won't break on a gas gun.
There are precious few scopes with quality glass and appropriate features that will hold up on an AR15, which beats them harder than magnum bolt guns due to the reciprocating mass of the BCG slamming back into the breach and barrel extension with a cascading high G impulse that 99% of scopes were never designed to handle.
NightForce NX series and Vortex PST and Razo HD are some of the only ones that are built specifically to deal with that kind of abuse.
Leupold Mark 6 and Mark 5 also, but we're way outside of $500 at those higher end Leupold.
There have been a lot of warranty-related returns on the PA lower end scopes for this reason when you actually shoot a bit.
