I'd second the Vortex Vipers or the SWFA SS scopes. I have one of each and they are really good optics for the money. They are both tough as nails and track very well. The standard Vipers will run just a little over $400. Vortex's service is second to none. The SS 10x42 rear focus scope at around $300 may be the best value out there. The fact that it is a fixed power scope has never been a problem. Just one more knob I don't have to turn. I actually prefer the rear focus to the SF.
