Another option is the Leupold 3-9x40 AO. I don't think they make them anymore. But, I see them often used in the $200-250 range. I've had one on my 541-T for years and love it. They're a little heavier. But, I've never found it objectionable and they're a little brighter and a lot cheaper. Also, with the longer tube, you'd have more room to play with the eye relief.
