If it's for general hunting, my Dad's 80 and his eyesight requires a scope. I bought him a Redfield Revolution 3-9x40 for Father's Day and he is totally in love with it. A lot of scopes have large objectives, but when you look through them, there's a lot of dead ring around the perimeter of the image. The Revolution has so little ring around the perimeter, the 4-plex reticle, while not lighted, really catches your eye and it seems to gather light very well. Of course, it's not tacticool but old timers generally are not as hung up on that as younger soldier wannabes.
It's a great value and backed by Redfield's warranty. Right now, Optics Planet has it on special through the 6th for $149.99 with free shipping. IIRC, you're in WI. I live in (TC Metro here). You're welcome to come by and look through it on his Browning .30-06 BAR if you want.
