I recently purchased a new Axis .243 and am waiting for my California 10 day waiting period to expire so I can pick it up. I also just ordered the Weaver multi-slot scope base system to add to it. What scopes and rings would you recommend for this setup?

I will be using this rifle for small to medium game, mostly coyotes, hogs, and the biggest animal I could imagine hunting with it would be a white tail deer. That being said, I think my maximum range I would shoot at an animal would be about 250-300yds. I would just like a quality entry level scope, for this entry level rifle.

Thanks!
