Wrote a big, long post with lots of wisdom and thought, checked the sample list, and now you get this post instead.

Swaro 3-10x42, off the sample list, $699.95. I know it costs significantly more; but, as an owner of a 4200 and this Swaro (with different reticule) the difference is staggering and you will never (NEVER) regret the extra $$. My humble advice: save for a few more months, cut back on the cokes and Lay's tater chips, squirrel every penny away, and purchase this beauty.
Many people consider the scope on a rifle to be a necessary evil and roughly equivalent to lipstick on a dead person; I would say the scope needs to be every bit as good and well made as the rifle. That's a nice rifle you're buying; why top it with a $200 scope? Why buy a Porsche 911 Turbo and fill it with regular unleaded?
Hemmingway said our greatest weapons are time and patience. Save for the Swaro, you'll be glad you did when hunting day comes.
