the rifle will be used for some varminting and pest control and target duties as well as general hunting for mainly fallow and goats etc and the odd pig.

Budget is around $800 all up could be more or less just want to get it right the first time so any advice is appreciated, been looking at 1-4 or 1-5 power in Burris, Vortex and Leupold and also the vortex viper 2.5-10x44

Thanks

Forget the 1-4 if you want to do some target shooting. Just not enough magnification (good for Zombies though!). The Vortex 2.5-44 is one of the scopes I've been looking at on Opticzone too.
I'll be using my spare VX2 3-9x40 on mine in the interim, until I get something around with a top end x14 magnification.
