you can get a 4-12x40 3200 Elite for under 300.00, i had one for a number of years and it is a solid dependable scope. no fly's on those Sightrons, you'll need to keep it at a S2, but for a few mor $$ you could go S2 Big Sky and really have some glass if you keep the power range down enough to keep it affordable. a used Leupold in either VX-II configuration or older Vari-X III, Burris and the Nikon's are all rock solid options.
