Nikon Prostaff 3-9x40 BDC on Nikon P-series mounts. I know this set up isn't even in the same ball park as most of the other ones in this thread, but it works very well for me. My only intended purpose for this rifle is deer hunting in the Vermont woods, and that was what drove my selection of magnification. 3x is all I will ever need for the 300 yard max shots I will be presented with in the woods around here, but 9x is necessary for a close-up look sometimes to ensure I am taking a legal shot with all of the deer hunting restrictions. This will never be a CQB rifle for me, or even a HD one. That's why I have handguns. Hence, no offsets or holo's. Nikon is hands down the best "cheap" glass you can get. If you can afford more, do it, but for under $175 for scope and mounts on sale at Dick's, I have a pretty darn clear optic with almost 4" of eye relief and an excellent FOV that should do everything I want it to. Plus Nikon's little BDC app thing is pretty darn neat, too.
