Which scope? Oh, boy, big question with a lot of opinions...
For an all around deer rifle scope, hunting a mix of open country and woods, 3-9 isn't a bad choice. Neither is a fixed power 4 or 6x.
For a 'brush gun' where the ranges are short, field of view is as important as power, and in the brush, the 1-4's, 2-7's, and 2.5 or 3 fixed powers are good picks.
What brand is another big question. Again, with lots of opinions. I'll say if you choose a Burris, Leupold, Pentax, Nikon, Weaver Grand Slam, Zeiss Conquest, or Bushnell 3200 or 4200 series, you'll be getting a high quality scope that will let you shoot as well as the rifle will allow.
I will say this for sure: you DO get what you pay for. There are no scopes that cost $100 that are as good as scopes that cost $400.
