If you can use a straight power. Then either would be fine. I would stay away from the cheapes variable scopes but I have a Simmons Pro-Hunter 6X40 on my 30-06 and it held up well for years. The Banner and Troghy Bushnells have been very good to me. The troghy is a bit better scope for a little more money. The Simmons Aetec is the best of all but may be more than you want to spend at 130-160 dollars depending on where you find it.
