fergawdsakes, please don't put a Simmons or similar on that exquisite beauty!
Stretch the budget, watch ebay for awhile, and snag a Trijicon Accupoint: either 3-9x40 or 2.5-10x56; or even the 5-20x50 if it's strictly a long-range rig (desert/plains). If you keep your eyes peeled for awhile, you can get one of these in the $700-$900 range, depending upon model, new - and even less used.
Failing that, I'd tell you to go with an Elite 4200 in 2.5-10x40, but they discontinued the 4200, so I dunno. If not Leupold, maybe look at a Minox, Nikon Monarch, Sightron S2, Sightron S3, or ??
