I say buy the scope you want for the budget you have (i.e., if you have a $2500 budget, a scope in the $1000-$1500 is appropriate, if you have a $700 budget, not so much). The cheapest scope I would put on a rifle is a Leupold VXii. So that's $300 gone. Now use the rest to find the best gun you can get for your money.
