OK, I have been right where you are in this situation. These guys here are regretfully right about scopes. I bought a simmons scope 4 years ago, mounted it on a 270 semi auto and it wouldnt hold center and the eye relief was soo bad I kept getting bopped in the eye. Really messed my shooting abilities up. So, I ended up getting a nikon pro-staff (about 140 bucks) and have never looked back since. Spend 50 to 70 bucks more. Wait and save the money up if you dont have it right now. The best optics arent an option for us younger poorer guys, but acceptable optics are. Lots of options for 100 to 150 bucks.

Good options are some of the bushnels (100 bucks or more)
Pentax game seeker (I have one, I got it for 100 bucks, made by burris)
Nikon pro-staffs are going for 130-140 nearly everywhere
Low end leupold's are just under or around 200
burris are closer to 200 but excellent quality for the money
Good luck bro! EJ
