Rifle scopes are overrated for the vast majority of big game hunting situations. I would get a decent $200 scope and put the savings into high quality binoculars. :twocents:
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

Didn't catch that you wanted a fixed power. Mine are variable power the Diamondback was $240 ish and the Viper was $ 400.
Anyone that thinks a Glock is better than a 1911 paints his toenails.

I totally agree, I have a VX3 on my 300, about $300.00. But for me, I hunt Muley's primarily where I spend hours glassing. So, top-shelp binoculars are more important, I use a pair Swarovski's 10x40's. The single most important component for me, aside from good boots.

Take a look at Vortex scopes also. I have there 3.5-10×50mm Diamondback  and there 4-12×40 viper and they are both nice scopes for the money. The Viper actually replaced a Leupold VX3.

:yeah:

Try there newer Vortex Viper HS 2.5-10x44, with 30mm tube...its in the upper range of your price range but a smoking scope and not even Leupold can beat there warranty. This scope is an all out light hungry scope and with there awesome reticle you'll easily be able to use the full potential of your rifle. call vortex direct and sometimes theyll cut yah a deal. Vortex has hands down the best customer service.
