Sounds like you are in a pickle and so is your wife... A great low cost alternative is the Burris FFII 3-9x40 with the ballistic plex reticle. That is all anyone really needs for most hunting applications. I have several and most of my "go to" hunting rifles have them. Just used one on top of a Tikka T3x 7MM08 a couple months ago on my elk hunt. Worked great, just as per usual.. These scopes are a simple approach for getting the job done and can be had for less than $200. Get one with the ballistic plex reticle, since you aren't a turret twister.
