I've got these two in the classifieds...either would work well. Weaver/Pentax

De Facto answer for me in this situation is a new Weaver K6.
Great inobtrusive, lightweight, scope , very bright with superb adjustments.

There is a nice Nikon Monarch 3-9 for less than $200 in the classifieds here, I'd snatch that up in a heartbeat.

That UCC Monarch in the classifieds would be a great choice. I agree: Very dependable and great glass. Shrappy's 2-7 Redfield would also be a good choice except you'd be up chit creek if you ever needed to have it repaired. The Burris FFII 3-9x40 with ballistic plex reticle is also a favorite of mine (keeping in mind the OP's price requirements).
I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style. You want to see an animal drop right now? Shoot him in the ear hole. BSA MAGA

I once killed a fork horn standing below a good mule deer buck on an incline. His head got in the way of a shoulder shot on the larger buck. It was heavily overcast. I did not notice him. It was not a long shot and I did not use a binocular. I knew I wanted the larger buck without glassing. He was nice This is one more example from real life why I no longer use low powered scopes. Thanks for the positive reinforcement to my opinion.

Thanks for the suggestion gents. It will be very interesting to see what he settles on, after I let him try a few of mine.
