Thanks everyone. I ended up getting a great deal from Cabela's on a 3x9-40 Nikon Buck Master BDC (supported with their "Spot On" ballistic calc).
On sale for $99 down from $230. Not high end glass by any means, but this will be on a working gun for wet side blacktails and bear, so its hard to justify Vortex or LP's glass cost for shots inside 100.

Looking at Tally mounts now...
