etw - My choice is the Burris Fullfield II. I've got the 3x9 40mm matte finish with Ballistic Plex reticle... a range-finding type. This scope sells for $197... and you can get a free Burris spotting scope with it as well.
Ditto. I think Burris scopes are the most underrated scopes out there. Very good quality for the money IMO.
