The scope you choose is up to you. I personally like scopes in the 4-16x ballpark for my leverguns (4-12x, 4.5-14x, 4-16x, etc) that might see service from 0-300yrds. I prefer 44-50mm objectives, but I don't prefer paying for that sometimes. For super short work in the brush, a 2-7x or 3-9x with a wide FOV (i.e. not a 24 or 32mm, but full size objective, preferably 44-50mm) isn't a bad way to go either.
