The SWFA 10x will serve you well.

Try to find some used or like new nightforce, seekins, aadland rings.

If you must buy new... i hear TPS is decent, but i'd personally spend the extra $20-30 for one of the previously mentioned set of rings.

I use the SWFA 10X, works fine for me. Ring wise, I like my stuff to hold zero, so I use STEEL rings. Mine are Nightforce, I think I paid around $100+ for mine. I like my rings to be as low as possible, I got the mediums. Just barely had clearance (save the receipt incase you have to return them).

Good luck!

A 10X scope will work fine. I have a Bushnell Elite 10X40 and a SS 16X50. The Bushnell has better optics. The glare in the Super Sniper is worse than average.
You don't need to spend a lot on rings if the scope tube is either 1" or 30 mm. This guide lists several good choices for less than $50/pair:

Does any of the SWFA 10x models have an adjustable parallax? Unless I missed it, I didn't see it being mentioned on their web site for their 10x models.

[LCU1670]

Yes!

Yes it does.

For paper punching, the 10x SS will be fine. I used to carry one to matches, as a back up, but never had to use it. For hunting, I would recommend a 3x9, 4x12 or a fixed 4x though.

good advice here...

[Norcalkid]

Thanks for all the help. Guna give it a few days to think about it. Got everything ordered but the optics. Even a Harris bipod.

Bushnell 3200 10x in Leupold PRW rings sitting on a 1 piece Weaver base. Total investment of about $300.00. The SWFA 10x is also an excellent scope for the money, the Bushnell does not have paralax adjustment but I've never needed it.
Rifle and Dog are optional.

I have a SS 10x42 in a LaRue SPR series mount. It is about $100 over what you're looking at spending, but the flexibility is worth it for me.

Also, unless you are shooting at the same distance 100% of the time, I would opt for an adjustable parallax scope and get in the habit of checking parallax each and every time you lay your head down behind a scope.

Thanks, Bushnell rebate is expired, had to purchase by 10/31 and be post marked 11/15. I think I'll hold out a couple weeks and see if anything else good turns up on a Black Friday deal.

How long have you been using those rings? Have you had any problems with them? Would you purchase them again?

I have been using the Leupold PRW and QRW rings for a few years now in both 1" and 30mm. They are solid and I like the look of them.
