Default Scope for my new Savage 93R17-FVSS .17 hmr??

So I just ordered a brand new Savage 93R17-FVSS. It should be here in a week. In the mean time, I am actively looking for a scope. I am on a tight budget for this scope, since my goal is to stay under $300 total on this gun. I am looking at spending $100 or less on this scope. I would rather get a less expensive scope now and still have money for the trigger job in a few months.

The guns is the stainless/synthetic model, so I am most interested in silver scopes that would match, and I want something with at least 12 power. I guess I am looking at a 4x12 or something similar.

Does anyone have experience with the BSA "Sweet 17" scope? They supposedly have a yardage compensation system specifically for the .17 HMR, so your always dead on out to 200 yards with the twist of a knob.

Any other suggestions?
