Leupold or Weaver 2 to 2 1/2X have never given me any problems on guns up to my .458 Alaskan. I see no reason to spend more than $250.00 to $300.00 on a low power fixed-power scope.
Hunted and load tested for over 28 years and in excess of 14,000 rounds with a 2 1/2 Weaver on a .458 2". An 8 pouind rifle, driving 510gr. Solids at 2,060fps does kick a bit. Never a lick of trouble with that scope. Rifle now, it's on my brother's .356 Winchester which makes 1 1/2", 5 shot groups at 100 meters.
I also used a borrowed 2X Leupold on the .458 Alaskan - again, no problems.
These scopes are so light, you need weight in the rifle itself, if it's a kicker.
