I really like the Leupold VX3 2.5-8x36. Cheap, light weight and appropriate magnification for most things.
I left the original iron sights on mine but am using Talley quick release rings. With Talley based I can remove the scope and attach their peep sight with a thumb screw in less than a minute. Their peep is dirt simple and tiny enough to keep with you all the time.
My backup scope is an inexpensive Burris 2-7. It has proven to be a very durable little scope. The quality of Burris glass is not going to stand up next to the high end products but it is comparable to entry level Leupold in my opinion.
If you were to use a similar setup you would have a belt, suspenders, rope and duct tape. Probably overkill, but darned if anyone could accuse you of being ill prepared.
