I've been very impressed with a Burris Fulllfield II that I bought. Very clear optics and repeatable adjustments. The 3x9 goes for about $200 on line.

Take a look at these Mueller scopes. I have a Sport Dot and am impressed for the $$$.

My 2 cents worth is to wait and buy some good quallity glass . Your accuracy depends on it!!. Check out a Leupold vari- x 2 3x9 x 40mm . A good scope for the money very accurate and a life time warranty. Will take years of abuse. Its a little more than you want to spend , but will make the differance when you need to make a 1/4 " adjustment @ 100 yards.. JMHO....

Another vote for Mueller if you want budget optics. If you just want to see an object in normal conditions a Mueller will suit you well.
Bullets are pretty worthless. All they do is hang around waiting to get loaded.

Nikon Buckmaster 6-18x40 w/ target dot. Also comes with target turetts if you want to use them( I don't.). About 150 more than you're wanting to spend but worth the extra cash.
If it flies it dies, If it runs its done, Hook'it, snag'it, gig'it, just kill itFire up the grill cause deer huntin ain't catch and releaseI dig hot chicks in camo bikini's with guns in their hands.

I've got the Mueller and I've got the Buckmaster with the BDC. The one thing I really like about the Buckmaster is the side focus. But I really like both scopes. The adjustment (all adjustments) knobs seem much easier to move on my Mueller, but that could be because the Buckmaster is camo dipped.

I would go with the Nikon. I have one of the 6-18x40 on my Browning 25-06 and love it. I picked up mine on for about $280 shipped.

I'm tossing in my vote for tha Burris. They're nice n' clear and have alot of eye relief. I have a couple of them and I love them. That B-Plex reticle is handy once you get it figured out for the load you shoot. The nikons are really clear too but I don't care for the little circles that they use for thier bullet drop marks.
