It's up to you, but on a light, handy rifle a Tactical scope of any brand would not be my first choice.
I know that some guys like big glass, but those are too large and heavy for the rifle, for my sense of esthetics, and a 10x is going to be too much mag for most situations, but I have rifles so equipped and can get used to it.
In the SWFA lineup, look at the 3-9...still large but better glass helps.
If money were an issue, a 4x or 6x Weaver K4, or a Leupold FX II, or 2-7 Redfield. Those would work better for me.
I also like the compact model in 223.
The Ruger comes with bases and the Predator model has a rail.
