Picking a budget scope

Hey guys,
I'm a bush hunter mostly, I can't sit still so most of my hunting is done on foot and it works well for me! Well I have a 25/06 on the way that will be my field gun and I'm on a tight budget to put some long range scope on it so I've narrowed it down to 3 at the moment (all used)
Tasco 3x9x50
Tasco Vermint 2.5x10x42
Bushnel banner 3x10x36
I know there's not a lot of love for the tascos but I bought one for my trapping gun and I'm really impressed with it, my nikons seem more likely to fog! 😳 Lol
Any advice would be appreciated

    They are a little bit more than the scopes listed but the Vortex crossfire's ii scopes start around $140-160 and have a lifetime guarantee. They are pretty nice for that price.

    Vortex seem to be the talk of the town for the money and definitely low power with wide lense for stalking.

    Them elusive PA White Tailed Deer become invisible when viewing through a scope in the woods. But it is nice to be prepared with power, when standing on woods edge looking into field and meadow.

    2 to 7 but no more than 3 to 9 and as wide as possible.

    But that'd be my two cents.

    Good luck this season and shoot to kill.

    Also, since you're a bush hunter, I'd recommend see thru ring mounts for your scope so you can still use the iron sights..
