I think Im going to settle for a 3-9X40. That seems to give me the most bang for my buck.

Now, time to pick a brand.

Choices will most likely be Burris, Barska, Leupold, or Nikon.

Well, the rifle is only a $300 rifle to begin with so I don't want to put a thousand dollar scope on it. This will probably end up in the hunting rifle category soon, but I'd like to be able to shoot it out to at least 400yds.

Once again, Im new to the rifle scene besides my .22's.

I bought a Savage/Stevens Model 200 in .308 this weekend.

I need to put a scope on it.

I don't know anything about scopes.

I'd like to do some distance shooting, possibly out to 500yds or farther eventually.

I'd like to keep the cost of the scope below $300 with rings.

Any advise will be appreciated.
