[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1247614, member: 30902"] On your budget I'd look on Ebay and here at the LRH classifieds for something along the lines of the Leupold VX3 or VX3i in 3.5-10x50 with a Mildot, Boone and Crockett or Varmint Hunter Reticle. The large objective makes a big difference in low light capability. The more light you can gather and focus the better the performance is. Even if you aren't shooting before sunup or after sundown that can still be extremely important hunting in dense cover or on cloudy and foggy days or when the animals are just sticking to the shadows. I'd definitely stick with variable power scopes as well with no more than 4.5x on the bottom end because you can easily find yourself suddenly needing to make a shot on an animal at 10-30yds and if your lowest power isn't low enough you won't be able to pick your desired point of aim and end up blowing the shot or blowing the chance to take one.
