Default Quality scope 3-9x40mm silver finish any ideas?

I already ordered one but i have a feeling its not gonna be a nice piece (maybe i can get lucky though lol). I need a scope that has a stainless steel/silver finish in a 3-9x40mm design. Budget is $150 or less or could go a little higher if its a must. Would also like it to come with a matching sun shade or have the option to purchase one seperate. Im having a hard time selecting one Any help is greatly appreciated!

Nikon Prostaff around $150, you may be able to find it cheaper on Ebay or SWFA.

If you ordered a scope you are pretty sure you won't like, why don't you cancel the order and apply that money towards a better scope. Here is a possibility:

www.riflescopes.com/products/3239405/bushnell_3-9x40_elite_3200_scope.htm

For some reason the link doesn't appear to work. From the site click on riflescopes, on the left and go to bushnell and then to the silver 3200 Elite.
You might go through their Sample List and find a good buy in there.

I would also check out The Optic Zone, www.theopticzone.com. They have great prices on all of there scopes especially the Nikon's and Bushnell's.
