Cabelas had a sale last week on their Nikon Monarchs. They had the 4-16x42 on sale for 300 bucks. Just my luck that I found out about it late last night and totally missed out on the deal as I was getting my credit card. Now I'm back in hunt for a good scope to put on my model 10 flcp-k for 300 bucks or less. I mostly target shoot(live near a 1000 yard range) but I need it to be versatile enough to deer and hog hunt around central Texas once in a while. Do you guys have any suggestions on another scope in this price range.

I also need recommendations on base and rings for my left handed savage. Thanks a bunch.
