nikon monarch 3-9x by 40mm mounted on a YHM scope riser with high Leupold Permanent weaver 1" rings. Trust me.

+1 on Nikon. Check used at SWA. You can get a good deal...

If you are target shooting save $50 more and get a Super Sniper 10x. If you are doing some hunting a Leupold VX-I will be good.

walmart has the nikon prostaff 3-9x40mm for $149.00

...+1

+1 More on this one. I have the prostaff on a Tikka T3 and it is a great scope. Just get some good scope covers for it (quick). I didn't ever scratch my optics, but it drove me nuts with worry for a week or two while I didn't have covers.

Wally World (at least the one here in Milpitas) has a Leupold Rifleman 4-12x40 (model # 56170) for $249.00. I'm sure the Rifleman series isn't as good as the the other models, but it's still a Leupold.
