Nikon Prostaff at $159.99 - 1st choice, over you budget but a real good bang for your buck.
Vortex Crossfire $109.95 (Lifetime warranty) - 2nd choice, American company not well known, but they are good scopes for the money Bushnell Banner $69.95 - 3rd choice, bought my father one for his 308 and it is a good scope. Stay away from Barska, BSA, and other cheap Chinese junk. |

Bushnell. My father had the shotgun scopes. After many, many rounds of 12ga slug on a light shotgun (Encore), the scope started to have problems. He sent it back, and they sent him a brand new scope. I forget which one, but it was the next level up. Excellent custumer service.

As mentioned Nikon,
I also have used Scopes by Simmons ( Had the same one on my 30-06 for over 20 years and never had to rezero). Unlike was previously mentioned, I have used some BSA scopes, and have had good luck with them. As for the Tasco that came with it, I have one on a Marlin 30-30 for the last 15 years. It came with gun when I bought it from coworker. Seems to do fine. But then again I do not put it thru to much. Just deer season in either KY, TN or MO in November when get into some thick brush. |

the best scope out there right now for under $100 is a 3.5x10 simmons whitetail classic that is on clearance at several places like Natchez.
tough, reliable and decent glass for the money. i think i have 6-7 of them on various highpowers. |

Quoted:
Any recommendations for a 3x9 for 100 bucks or less its not something that is gonna get alot of use just looking for a decent budget scope. That's what you already have... |

If you're looking for under $100, then you're likely not going to get much better than what the gun came with. If you bump that up to $200, you can do a lot better. Check Ebay. I saw a Nikon Buckmasters 3x9 for $164 "buy it now". I'm sure there are other deals out there.

I would not buy a scope for under $100; I agree with the poster - that is what you have already. I recently saw the Bushy 2-7x 3200 out there for $169.00 and a fixed 6X Weaver for ~$129. Either of these is a step up from what you have and not that much more than your budget.

I've had both of those and a couple Leupolds, I would say they're all basically in the same class for anything with an MSRP under 4 bills or so. As far as still less-expensive optics go, I would recommend seeing what the Bushnell offerings are. I have never used their rifle scopes, but I have used binos, spotting scopes, and a rangefinder by Bushnell, and been quite happy with what I've seen. |
