My vote goes to the Leupold 3.5-10x 40mm. I've got 2 of 'em; one on a 300 WSM Savage Mod. 10 and one on a Kimber sporterized Mod. 96 Swede. They're both over 10 years old now and after lots of use on 2 different rifles in all kinds of conditions I highly recommend them. Don't know what sort of price they are these days, but if they're beyond your budget There's a lot of other good suggestions here in this thread.
