I have a Bushnell Banner 3-9x40 on my Win. M70 in .30-06 since new in the 80's and still going strong. Basic rule of thumb for me was buy the most expensive scope you can afford to fall on and/or bang up and not cry about. If you are a sitter buy better glass, I'm a hill country still hunter and perhaps a little clumsy at times but I have been told I fall very gracefully. I do like Bushnell Trophy scopes and they are in my price range. I would suggest a 3-9x40.
