Despite sounding like a broken record, I am going to keep recommending the Vortex Viper 2-7X32. It's been on closeout for a while (they are changing their lineup) but is available for about 50% of list, about $169.

This is a high quality scope with glass quality that is a significant step up from your Redfields and Prostaffs. It compares very favorably to a Nikon Monarch or Bushnell 4200.

For the price, nothing comes close. Yes, they are a smaller known brand than your Bushnells and Nikons, but they also have one of the best warranties and customer service in the business. SWFA has them here.

I got one before they went on sale and am tempted to pick up another before they are all gone.

Alternatively, the Bushnell 4200 Elite 3-9x42, also being discontinued, is a great scope and can still be found online for around $200.
