If I were you I would keep an eye out for one of the older model Nikon Buckmaster AO 4.5-14X40 scopes. They are kinda hard to find, but I have owned two of them and for the money they are a great scope. The last one I got off ebay for about $200.
Depending on which scope you are looking at, the cableas scopes are made by a couple different people last I herd. I had an Alaskan Guide scope that was made by weaver and it was a nice scope. An added bonus if you live near a Cabela's, something goes wrong with the scope, bring it back and take care of the problem that day instead of waiting to ship and receive a scope.
