I have Deluxe in 300 weatherby. I originally had a swaro AV 2.5-10x40.
I now have a VX3 3.5-10x40 on it. Happy with either. I think the deluxe is a somewhat heavy but nice handling balanced rifle. I didnt want to overwhelm it with a heavy scope. I put a few 50s on it just to experiement and i found the 40s more to my liking. I would stay light. So I guess for his budget I would say VX2 3-9x40 or a used VX3 or VX3i 3.5-10x40.
