I don't know if you get the South African designed, Japanese manufactured Lynx scopes in the US - maybe you do under a different name. They make a huge range from pistol scopes to 6-25x50 varmint scopes. The optical quality is excellent, for the money - I've got a couple which are as good as the cheaper Leupold lines and not that far from Swarovski/Zeiss/Docter/Pecar/Kahles.

For single shots and double rifles there is a 4x with long (4 1/2") eye relief without being a pistol or scout scope - thus you keep your field of view. The eye relief is long enough to allow mounting well forward, I have the rear of the objective in line with the breech of my Cogswell and Harrison 375 H&H Flanged Magnum Greener cross bolt extractor and this makes loading/unloading much easier. A scope and a cross bolt extension is a real pain in a non ejector rifle, in my experience. The scope has survived a couple of hundred rounds.

Does anyone know if Lynx scopes are sold under other brand names?
