Carryon, You need to mention if you intend to use a scout type scope mount on rear sight or one on the receiver. Big difference on scope you will need.
If scope is on a scout mount, you need a long eye relief scope (LER scope), such as one used on a pistol.
If a typical receiver type mount then perhaps you should consider the Nitrex TR1 1.5-5X32mm scope for $140 at Natchez Shooters Supply. Very good glass and Nitrex has a rebate of $50 on it, bringing price down to $90, plus shipping. Its a bargain buy on scope that had a retail price of about $300. This Nitrex by Weaver scope sells under the Weaver label for about $289. Heck of a buy for a good scope.
Higher powered Nitrex TR1 or TR2 models also available at Natchez.

Another bargain buy scope with also good glass is the Intensity 2.8x10x44 scope at Natchez, only $70. It once had a retail price for around $230 and still available as a Weaver 40/44 scope that retails for over $260, but sells for around $180. Glass on this scope is good, has aspherical type lens system and it is quite clear.
