+1 on that.I would ask what caliber the rifle is and at what distances you plan to shoot at. I have a 3x9 on most of my rifles.
For deer sized game at reasonable distances, 3-9 X 40 with a duplex should do all you need.
I like Redfield - almost as good as a Leupold but not nearly as expensive.
Now if I'm spending Mrs. Chemist's money - Leupold all the way. <g>
