Well we know you have a model 70, in 7 mag. What are you hunting, and what ranges do you expect to shoot? Without knowing more, I'd say any of the moderately priced variables is a good place to start. As you probably know, you can spend about as much as you want on scopes.

Actually we dont know if it is a 7mm Rem Mag or 7mm-08 Rem or 7mm Mauser etc. Doesn't appear that the child knows the difference.

Actually he has posted before that he shoots a 7mm Rem. mag back in his 7mm thread.
I shoot a 7mm remington mag
Depending on how much you want to spend I would start out with the Bushnell 3200 in 3-9X40. THese can be bought for less than $200.00 and are an excelent scope for the money.

Moving up in price, but not necessarily quality, would be a Leupold VX-II

Moving up again would be a Leupold VX-III or a Bushnell 4200. The 4200 is the brightest and clearest scope that I have look through that cost less than $1,000.00. They are usually around $400.00 - $500.00.

Then the sky is the limit.

Make sure you get a scope with good eye releif for a rifle like a 7mm mag.

I like the Bushnell Elite and Weaver Grand slam scopes for the money.

If you have one of the 7 mags (7rem mag, 7rum, 7stw, etc....) get the best scope you can afford. Leupold is tough to beat at their price. You have to spend ALOT of money to get a scope that is clearly better than Leupold. The problem w/ the cheaper scopes on a magnum rifle is that the recoil will break the scope internally(almost cost my wife an elk). If you are useing a 7x57, 7mm-08, the lesser scopes are fine. Good luck
