    It may or may not be in your price range, but for the money, the Bushnell Trophy XLT is a hell of a scope. I have this one that I paid $92.99 for a little over a year ago. http://www.fitsmybudget.com/Bushnell...X-Reticle.html, and I've been nothing but pleased with it.

        Additional information:
        Do NOT buy a scope that is intended for use on a rimfire rifle if you are going to use it on a centerfire rifle.
        Reticle jump is the reason. Rimfire scopes are not designed to take the vibration/energy/impact that is associated with centerfire/large caliber cartridges.

        I will say, when I first got into hunting I dropped my wad on the gun (a Browning 300 win mag)and didn't have the coin for good optics. I had to ride it out with a Bushnell Banner for the first year and it DID handle the recoil/shock without reticle jump.

        For a little more money you can go ahead and get into a Nikon Buckmaster and have a better quality scope (better glass) that will perform better in lower light conditions. Trust me, you aren't going to see a difference in a flourescent lit store, but in the field, dusk and dawn you will.

        Good luck
