Hi Adam and a very warm welcome.
I'm not a scope tart but, when I looked recently, I noticed that there were some special offers on the fine Nikko Stirling 3-9x40AO Panamax. I'd love one of these and, if I had the available budget, would be snapping one up whilst still available. I think I saw them on offer at sub £80?
I'm actually happy with a good quality 32mm objective lens, it's just that that Nikko seems amazing value and I like the scope when I've tried them. That's a decent range of available magnifications for real world use, in my book, plus an objective that isn't overly large. Nice and clear optics, too, although that can often prove to be a personal thing, so you could really do with having a good look through one, which might prove tricky at the moment.
Enjoy your return to our wonderful sport / hobby.
