I got lucky and got an Omega 3x9x40 BDC250 for only $100. IIRC that one is no longer made and its now a 300BDC? It is very bright and a steal at less than half of MSRP.
The long eye relief might not work out the best with all bases/rings but at least you can remedy that on most guns. Longer Picatinny rail type bases can make it much easier if they make one for your gun. MIL-STD-1913 standard type make ring options huge and are usually better made. Weaver spec rings will usually fit MIL spec bases but not vice versa.
This rail should fit and give you a lot of options for spacing and relief.
