To the OP... For your situation, I would look at a Leupold VX2 3-9x40. If you want to spend less, the VX1 is about $100 less. They are excellent scopes with a lifetime warranty, and probably the best overall reputation in the industry. You won't be disappointed. Optics Planet or SWFA usually has great prices.
