Congrats on your new rifle Stan. As far as scopes go, the Mueller is a good scope, I have one on my .223, but due to shortness of eye relief, I wouldn't recommend it on an 06. It may hurt. Don't have any Bushnells, but I do have alot of Swifts, and for the money I would recommend these for your rifle. For a higher magnification I do like the
SRP 6-18x44. Good luck!--tr

I have never had good luck with Bushnell scopes on .30 caliber rifles; the reticles seem to shoot out of them in short order. They work OK on .223 and the like, though.

I suggest the Leupold VX line, the 4-12x 40 specifically. They are priced on a par with the Bushnell 3200 and, IMHO, a better scope.
