I would recommend doing your research for what you want in a scope.
Do you want a great long range precision scope that supersedes the guns abilities, or is a scope that gets you on 12" steel at 600 yards plenty for what you're willing to pay.
Learn what features are selected for a scope to gain different advantages or to reduce cost.
Read up on first/second focal plane, MOA or MRad Reticles and adjustment increments (this will determine how you will calculate holdoffs and which system you are most familiar with), 30mm vs 35mm tube diameters, parallax adjustment etc.
I wish I still had a great link that I think did a good job summarizing all of these different things and when you would prefer one over the other. Ill ETA if I find it.

Do you want just a great long range precision scope, or something less delicate that you can strap on your 4 wheeler for a ride through the woods.
