Thanks for all the responses. As far as price range goes, $500-$600 would be top end but DEFINITELY open to spending less for good quality.

The majority of the suggestions are for 3-9x40 scopes. In reviewing scopes, I've seen 3.5-10 and 4-12, etc. Are there any advantages/disadvantages to these scopes.

For price comparison, I've been lookin at the trusty Cabela's catalog. I know they are high priced on many items but was wondering how close their scope prices are to other retailers? When buying a scope, does everything needed for mounting the scope included or do have to purchase seperately? I'm unable to mount scopes myself & was wondering what the average cost for mounting would be? I know a friend who owned an Archery shop used to charge different rates to mount items purchased in his store vs items purchased elsewhere. Again thanks for all your help.
