Default .223 Rifle Scope Suggestions? - Coyote Hunting

Looking to get a Steven's Model 200 in .223 and was wondering what would be a good scope to top this gun off with. While I may take it to the range occasionally it's main job will be to take out some coyotes. What size scope would be ideal for hunting coyotes? Also any brand/manufacturer suggestions would be helpful as well. I wouldn't mind staying under $200 for a good scope. If I had to spend a little more to get a much better one I could.

Thanks

Buy good glass (they say 1X-2X what you spent on your gun).



Accuracy counts.

3x9 will probably work well and if you're not in a hurry for a scope, take the time to shop for a used one. Some incredible deals can be found, and by buying used, you could get more scope for your money.
