I personally don't like the reticle clutter in the ultimate slam. Look through one before you buy it. I don't think you can go wrong with a Leupold. Nikon is also very good. I like Sightron as well, they make very nice scopes. Make sure to get something quality with a lifetime warranty.
If it was me with that gun given your hunting area, I'd lean towards a 3-9x40 most likely.

Took a chance and went lower budget with a Nikon Pro Staff 3-9x40 with the BDC reticle. Got it mounted up and took it out this weekend to play. I am very pleased with the scope and gun.
Using Hornady Leverevolution 325 gr. ammo, This gun/scope combo is a shooter. Took only about 10 shots to get it hitting bullseye at 100 yards, and then started shooting 5 shot groups. The groups stayed between and inch and inch and a half at 100 yards. Went through 2 boxes of ammo and am very happy. Scope seems bright and rock steady, and the ammois very accurate and consistant. Thanks for all the suggestions.
