It sorta depends upon what you're going to use your "new" rifle for! If you going to take it out to the country and shoot a few tin cans or a few paper targets at 50 yards, you can do quite well for under $200.00. If you're going hunting, or doing some semi-serious target shooting with your buddies, I'd suggest that you consider an entry level Nikon, 3-9 power, 40mm objective. Nikon makes very good glass; not quite on a par with Leupold, IMHO, but perfectly adequate for casual shooting. Check out SWFA.com; they have a huge selection of scopes at decent prices. You can also call and talk to them about your shooting situation and get them to recommend something in your price range. I've bought my last two scopes from them and have been quite happy.
