I'm getting a laminted stainless gun and i want a silver scope that is at least a 9 power, but don't want to pay a lot of money, my limit is 300 bucks. The gun will be a .223. Which scope(s) would you suggest? it will be mostly gopher shooting, i find 10 power is good for that but i'm open to a higher power.

I've looked at the Simmons Aetec 2.8-10x44mm, the Bushnell Trophy 3-9x40mm and the Weaver V10 2-10x38mm.

There's the gun it will be on
