Congratulations on the rifle. My son has a 10FP-HS Precision (no "C" in the name) in .308 which is essentially the exact same rifle, same stock, etc. We bought it at the old Sportsmans Warehouse in Lewisville which is no longer there, for the NOB price of $800.
He's like you in that he didn't have the money to buy a higher end scope when he recently rescoped it. He mounted a Falcon Menace 5.5-25x50mm Tactical from SWFA. The price of the scope is $550.

The clarity of the glass and the overal impession of quality is not on a parr with a $1,500 scope, but it isn't bad either. He mounted it with a 20 MOA rail, and the combination is certainly capable out to 1,000 yards.
Other scopes to consider:
SWFA has their own house brand, formerly known as "Super Sniper" which are now very good. I have a 5-20x50HD tactical scope on my AR10. It has a very uniquely designed tactical milling reticle which illuminates with 11 brightness settings, HD glass lenses, .1 Mil adjustment knobs which match the reticle, side focus, etc., etc. I had a chance to compare it to an M5 Leupold ERT and a IOR Valdata before buying. Both were a little pricier than the SWFA scope, and it compared very favorably to those two. It's a very good scope for $1,500.
If that's outside of your budget, there is another SWFA scope to consider and that is their 10x42HD fixed power tactical. It has no illumination, and the reticle is a standard Mil-dot, but the .1 mil adjusters are matched to the reticle, and the HD glass is simply world class. That scope sells for $800, and it will get you out to 1,000 yards if you need to shoot that far.
Also, I will say this......... 1,000 yards is a REALLY long ways away. A lot of shooters, even good shooters, will find that distance to be outside the range of their capabilities. The furthest distance I've ever shot at was 750 yards, and that was a really long ways away. The target was a life sized steel silhouette of a deer. To the naked eye, it looked like a black dot. In the scope, that black dot was magnified 10x......and it still looked impossibly small to hit. In any case, I didn't know much then about ranging, reticles, holdover, etc. I simply fired, waited the 1.5 seconds or so for the round to get down range, and watched for the fall of shot. If I saw the dirt splash high, low, or to one side or the other, I simply compensated by holding off in the appropriate angle and shot again. I eventually hit that silhouette, and using my brother's old Remington 700 Tactical .308 with a 10x Leupold tactical scope, I was even able to hit it pretty consistenly, although I couldn't call out
where I was going to hit it. I would not want to earn my living that way, and I can't imagine adding another 250 yards to that distance. I guess what I'm saying is that not everybody is capable of that kind of shooting. Some are, but most aren't, and there isn't any shame in that, and even the ones that
are capable of it have to shoot a lot of rounds with regular frequency in order to maintain that proficiency. Even though I got to where I could hit a 750 yard target, I would not call myself "capable." Rather, I was just having a really good day, on
that day, but I have no confidence that I could have repeated it. So have fun, and don't be too hard on yourself if you turn out not to be the next Chris Kyle. There is a lot of fun in the
trying..

If that is what it takes then I guess the new toy will be sitting a while till it gets glass.

I have trouble calculating tips now, let alone doing the ranging math for a long range shot. 
My bases may be too high, I got the mediums, but there is like a half inch between the objective and the barrel. I hope to shoot it wednesday.
