RE: rifle scope help
Just stick with any major name is optics; Leupold, Bushnell, Nikon, USO, Swarovski,etc. Depending on your terrain decide on your magnification level. If you're going to be in semi-thick to thick woods you shouldn't need anything more than 9x.
I would personally recommend a Leupold VX-I 3-9x40mm.
Good luck.
