A 3.5 x 10 or 4 x 12 in Nikon, Leupold, Vortex, Swarovski would be my choice for an every day hunting rifle before actually stepping up in price to a premium scope.

The rule of thumb is that price is directly proportionate to quality- you get exactly what you pay for in optics.

I have personal experience or owned of the above in various models and none mentioned have let me down.

In the legend of King Arthur, the Fisher King was a renowned angler whose errant ways caused him to be struck dumb in the presence of the sacred chalice. I am no great fisherman, and a steelhead is not the covenant of Christ, but with each of these fish I am rendered speechless.
