There are a lot of good scopes in that price range.When it comes down to final choices,look at the eye relief.Eye relief around 4" is what I would prefer.You never have to worry about the scope bumping you during recoil.I see so many rifles set up for kids with cheap scopes that have so little eye relief they have to really get close in order to see through it.Once that scope touches them one time,the fear is set into them.

As Bob Hagel would say"You should not use a rifle that will kill an animal when everything goes right; you should use one that will do the job when everything goes wrong."Good words of wisdom...............
