Hi Chris, welcome to GTA.... very nice to have you with us

I don't see how you could've "screwed up" your CFX.... you can always just put it back the way it was right ??
As for a scope PA has a good assortment of scopes, you should be able to find one you like. One of my favorite scopes is the Leapers 3x9x32 AO that optics planet sells for around $50 bucks w/ free shipping. My rifles are used only for hunting and I don't do field target so perhaps the 3x9x32 is not suited for your needs but just thought I'd throw it out there for your consideration as it falls within the price range you quoted.
BTW..... PA sells a scope mount that might solve your problem if you want to keep using that bug buster.......
I'm sure other members will chime in with their suggestions.
Again, welcome and nice to have you with us.
Jeff
