Not knowing what sort of distances you will be taking shots as a norm .... just guessing 100-150 yards or so. If that is the case, and you are wearing glasses, you will appreciate a longer eye relief model, regardless of what make you decide upon. Being that the rifle is a shorty ... like is my Marlin Guide in .444 Marlin ... I suggest as compact a scope as you can find. If you are not planning on hunting in really low light, you can do well with a less costly scope. If you will be doing any reasonable amount of very early a.m. and/or late afternoon hunting, scopes that perform really well in low light that are not a big as your arm won't be inexpensive. Probably would appreciate something like a 1.5-6x32 mm or something like that. Several makers of decent scopes make a compact in this sort. I would suggest planning to spend $350 or so if at all possible so that you can have a good, well made scope. Less expensive scopes are out there but usually will not perform well over the long run. As for specific make .... I'd do some research looking for long eye relief, then select the make/model. Buy the best glass that you can regardless. If that happens to be $100 scope, so be it. If you can foot the price of a top end scope , all the better. Look at the Zeiss Conquest or Bushnell Elite line. In my opinion both are very good values right now.
