Glass is such a subjective topic. I suggest going into Cabelas and looking through a few models in the price range you're interested in ,let your eye tell you what it likes .Then watch for it to go on sale.
Having said that ,can't go wrong with a Leupold ,but Nikon's are a very good value for the money ,Pro Staff 5or7 ,Monarch 3 ,even better.
Some thing in the 4-12 or 4-16x42 range should suffice for what you have in mind.
