You might try e-bay. Older used scopes are often sold pretty reeasonably, and there are several types that are OK. Older U.S. made Weavers, Lyman All-Americans, older Redfileds, and even older Leupolds might do what you want. But I don't know about the magnification range. You might have to settle for a measly 3X-9X.
I personally use 6X fixed-power scopes on my big-game rifles except for the big-bore (.375, .416, and .45's) DANGEROUS GAME rifles.I use Leupold Compact 2.5X fixed-power or 1.5-5X variable scopes on those.
