I like the Nikon Prostaff EFR 3-9X40. $189 or if you wait for a 10% off deal from opticsplanet then you can save a few more $. Nice scope, very clear with click/adjustable turrets. I have 2) one on my Beman R-9 Pellet rifle and one on my Savage/Anschutz .22. I have a 4-12 Banner on another .22, not in the same league.
