I am picking up a Browning BAR in .308 this week. I need to install a scope, which I have never before done.

First question is a recommendation on mounts and rings for this rifle. The BAR comes with predrilled holes for mounts. and I believe what is needed are mounts and rings for the scope. Also, please let me know what else is needed other than mount/rings/scope.

I searched the forums for recommendation on scopes, and the general consensus is a nice scope such as leupold,Nikon,Burris, bushnell Elite, etc. And the Nikon 2-7 has some recommendations. What is your recommendation? Price range is around $200, and purpose is for deer hunting - will sight in at 100 yards.

The local store has a deal on a Bushnell DOA 3-9 for $100. Does anyone have a comment on that scope?
