Default New Sako 75 .260 rem, which scope?

I recentlybought a new Sako 75 in .260 rem. I picked it up for $850 at Cabela's on closeout due to the 85's coming along. I alreadyhave a L691 Classic custom7mm rem and know how addicting these Finnishrifles are. Thegunwill be alightweight more compactrifle opposed to theL691.My 7mm has a heavy 24.5 inchbarrel, HS Precision stock, Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40. As you can imagine you definetly notice you're not carrying a sporter weight rifle.The .260 is purely for all arounddeer hunting out to200 yards, mostly woods terrain.I don't wish to spend a pocket load ona scope for this rifle. I'mthinking along the lines of a Nikon Prostaff in 2-7x33. Maybe I should wait and get aLeupold VXIII 2.5-8x36?Do you guys think a Prostaff in plain 3-9x40 would be best? All input is greatly appreciated, thanks.
