I have been killing stuff for a long time with $200-300 dollar scopes. Maybe Im just white trash, or perhaps thats really enough for killing the occasional whitetail or rolling a coyote. I have decent glass on my heavy .308, but even thats not extravagant (Vortex Viper HS tactical 3-15x44).

I do fully realize that good glass is better, and I am not trying to dispute that. I do, however, have realistic expectations out of my hunting guns. For this rifle, which will largely be used for coyotes and the occasional pig, that any of the variable listed in this thread will be plenty good enough.
