What's a good hunting scope?

Art Eatman and Jkump--
Thanks for your replies. I guess some scopes have a focus adjustment and some don't. I can't think of any good reason not to be able to adjust the focus, especially on low-power scopes where shots might be taken at very close range.
I agree about Nikon quality. I have Nikon binoculars, which are high quality at a reasonable price.

well, I am sure that there are a lot of good answers, but really you do not tneed any more than a fixed 4x.
That said, the Leupy 2x7 Rifleman will, at low power, be fast on aquisition almost like a reflex site, but 7x will allow you to make the connection a little better should the need arise, yet still be able to hold off the shakes for off hand shots.
Also, you may want to take a look at the refurbed Pentax scopes (with full warranties) from
www.cameralandny.com
they have a 1-5 and a 4x that would be about $100 to your door.
STAY AWAY FROM BARSKA, BSA, AND MOST OTHER LOW-END STUFF LIKE THAT, YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR.

I've had the Nikon Monarch 3-9x40 on my .270 for the last twelve or so years. I paid about $270 for it then but I think its a bit over $300 now. If the extra $60 or $70 bucks is a bit too much to swing right now I'd look at their next step down from that one. I really like mine and so does my dad. He has a Simmons Prohunter and the clarity and light transmission doesn't compare to the Nikon's. I guess the best thing to do would be to look at all the scopes in your price range and pick the one that looks the best to you.
