RE: Scope Choices...
Id suggest the Burris Fullfield 2 in 3-9x40. It is a pretty nice scope and has the ballistic plex reticle to compensate for bullet drop in any caliber, and right now they are offering a pair of 8x32 binoculars free with the purchase of the scope. I have two and love them both, and the 3-9 sells for right at 200 bucks.
