New budget scope question

[Trapper00]

I'm looking at setting up a nephew with a new scope for his inherited 30-06 for deer. While I have experiance with Leupold VX series, I'm looking at putting a budget level scope on his rifle (at least until he shows that he's into hunting). I have looked online at NIKON, LEUPOLD, BURRIS and see they all have entry tiers for their scopes. I'm looking for a 3x9. Anyone have experiance with any of these companies entry level scopes?

Thx
