If you wont be viewing more than 200 yards for wildlife then I think a scope is waste of money and effort lugging it in the field. If you're talking about something at the range to track your shot placement then anything cheap will do. Expensive ones are necessary when you're subject to the elements, low light, etc. I have a Nikon ED 82 that I found for a stellar deal on eBay for $800, that came with an eyepiece. You have to spend twice that to get a notably better scope. I love mine. Good luck with your needs.
