One thing I might suggest, go to gun shows, and look around, you can find much better deals on scopes there. I bought a BEC 3-9x42mm at a gun show for $40 to put on a carbine, VERY VERY cheap, but it's very sharp images, no fading zero with adjusting the magnification, hasn't fogged up on me yet, although I don't know that it's supposed to be fog proof: I shoot it on an SKS and lever actions .44mag and .45-70...I'm VERY satisfied with it, I've had it for three years now, I was pleasantly surprised with the performance, bought a crappy scope that turned out to be great.

The Leups are great, probably as close to perfect as they come, just really expensive, and it really bothers me that you can't find them with Adjustable objectives most the time....sometimes it gets hard getting them focused if you're at short ranges and high mag. I had a bushnell compact for a couple years, I don't know if they still make one or not, but that one was very nice.

You might look into how you're going to mount your scope before you buy one...I'm not certain but I think the Deerfield is like the ranch rifle, so you can mount it in the "normal" place, but a scout mount is always fun anyway, at which case you'd need a "scout scope" or one with unlimited eye relief.
