    Burris are good scopes for your dollar -impressed by one I had a while back. 3-9x40 ideal for magnum on hares - mine sits on about 5-6 power and never moves from it.

    However if you will also be doing 100 meter range shooting with the magnum a 4-12x could be better. Greater ability to quarter the 1" orange dots more precisely means better accuracy.

    in my mind the perfect scope would be 2-12 mag with a graduated drop reticule , as I will most likely be using several ammo weights/speeds and shooting up close possum (possible subs), medium distance goats ( heavy projectile) and longer range bunnies (light/medium weight) with good light gathering ... Aaannd zero stop , side focus , a built in laser range finder which automatically alters scope for range and projectile , gold plated turret covers and in-built beer fridge ... all for $50 .......

    Do I have a deal for you at $49.99! Comes with it's own 30 metre power cord with an adapter to extend, plus three stuffed possums for practice targets and four half full 750ml Waikato bottles. Could throw an opener in too. Reply soon, much interest.
