I’ve been real happy with my Nikon. Clear optics, no problem with upstate NY weather. ~$150.

Wow, that's pretty. Can I ask what the specs are?
Not sure what Reddit thinks about Nikon glass but here's something with some more magnification and a solid warranty:

or
Nikon Buck Master II Scope with BDC Reticle, 4-12 x 40mm
And a mount
I would go with something simple. If you only plan on shooting out to maybe 300-400 yards. I'd recommend

Like others said, now is the time to get out there on foot and look at everything. Yesterday I kayaked to a public hunting spot that only has access by water. Walked around about 3 hours and put two cameras out.
You don't need to spend a shit ton of money on a gun. I bought my Savage 11 XP trophy hunter in 6.5 creedmoor for $425 shipped. It came with a Nikon scope mounted to it. It's plenty enough gun for me.
The rifle you should be looking at, with your budget, is the Tikka T3x. In what ever caliber you like. .308 is a terrific caliber. I suggest 6.5 for the great ballistics and low recoil.
Just hover over at /r/gundeals and you'll eventually find the gun you want.
I'd rather have a cheap rifle with a good scope, than a high end rifle with a cheap scope.
Don't get sucked into the, "you have to spend $1,000+ on a scope" people. For hunting, a decent Nikon scope will do fine for you.
When you get your gun, go shoot the shit out of it. Know how it shoots at 50 yards, know how it shoots at 25 yards, know how it shoots at 136 yards, etc... Take guess work out before season. Also, practice shooting the gun how you would when you're hunting. Plan to be leaned up against a tree? sit down against a tree and shoot it. You don't want to practice all year using a bipod on a table, then go out and try and shoot a deer standing.
