I have a Redfield Revenge 3-9x42 that I love. I'm not sure if it's under $150 though. It's close.

A 4-12X40 from most any reputable manufacturer will cost $100 more than a similar quality 3-9X40 scope from the same manufacturer. All of the scope manufacturers give you the most scope for the dollar at 3-9X40. There is nothing in a 3-9X40 selling for $150 that I'd bring home, certainly not anything with more magnification. But there are several priced at or near $200 that I'd not feel the least bit handicapped using.
I have a friend with poor vision. He kept trying to buy budget scopes with more and more X's in an effort to be able to see the target. He ended up trading into a rifle with a 3-9X40 VX-2 on it and finally saw the light, literally. He bought one the Zeiss Conquest 3-9X40's when they they were selling at $250 and says he can see the target far better than the el cheapo 14X and 16X scopes he had been using.
Add $50 to your budget and buy a VX-1, Burris FF-II or Redfield Revolution in 3-9X40 and you find out you don't need more X's.
Most people don't really want the truth.
They just want constant reassurance that what they believe is the truth.

If I wanted a cheap scope, I would look at less range. With the idea it cost many to have range, and it most likely will be poor. They are only going to put so much quality and money into making it. I would look at 2x7 or 3x9, not 4-14, or such.

I was going to suggest a Minox 3-9 that Doug has on sale for under $100 but above a 3-9, I'd sell a Tasco World Class 4-16 AO for $50, great shape, I don't need it.

Zat iz zood zadvice, zerkoff. Do you believe when a company is making something cheap, the quality from them will be the same for 2-7 and 4x12? Do you believe it costs as much to make a 2-7 and 4x12?

Any Nikon, redfield revolution, Burris will do you just fine. As mentioned don't go over 12 power. Unless you bump up your budget. I'm not a fan of entry level vortex as I feel nikon is better at that price point. The minox is nIce. But it's bdc is ok at best.
All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.
