The Burris 3- 12 is the only popular one out there. IMO 12 X through a tiny field of view held at arms length is a real PITA...I personally have done well with bushnell 3200 2-6 power and the leupold 2.5-8 power scopes, and never needed more for ranges out to 300 on the range and 250 or so in the field. Good luck, the burris is a good scope and 12X is more than you'll ever really need.
