Keep looking for used Leupolds and be patient for one. I'm suposing that the $350 budget includes scope, mount and rings. Do not scrimp on rings.

All my centerfires wear Burris or Nikon
Nikon Team Primos is best deal going.
Burris Fullfield II is close second.

I know I said Leupold.. Which is what's on my rifles. But I've got Nikon glass on both of my son's rifles. Very comparable to the VXII Leupold's. And, my sons have been rough with their rifles as new young hunters. The Nikons have held up well.

There is a VXII 3x9 on the classifieds section for a fair price.

Burris all the way. It is American built and at a really good price. Very clear and built really well.

Elite 4200 3 x 9... cabelas lists them at 299.99 right now.  Great value!  Excellent glass and coatings... comparable to the Conquest and III series Leupolds.

Leupold VXII!! Great scope, great customer service. Look at Millett scope mounts and rings. Great quality, fair price.

I just picked up a nikon and love it. Although I got a monarch 3-12 that was $400 the buckmasters were under $300 and we just about as good. I thought the nikon optics were nicer than the comparable priced leupolds I looked at.
