Scout Scope questions?

I have a Marlin 1895 Guide Gun on the way and I am wanting to mount a scout scope to it. It comes with an xs systems scout rail.

So far the only two I can find are a Leupold and Burris. The Leupold is obviously the higher quality but expensive as well. Does anyone have any other experiences with different brands?

What are your recommendations for a scout scope in the 1-4x range?

Thanks
 
I went with the Leupold. Worth every penny as I use Buffalo Bore 401 grain ammo and it gives a stout recoil.

It hasn't rattled loose yet.

Go with the 2X Anything more powerful defeats the purpose of a scout scope and is more difficult to use anyway. Mine is perfect for out to 200 yards.

I use detachable mounts and have the ghost ring setup on it. To 100-120 yards the ghost rings work just fine.
