scope ? what would you do?

I went to a gun show today, mainly looking for scopes. I have a great win.70 30-06 that needed a scope, and my new 358 Norma mag needed one.
snooping around, i found a booth that had an "as new" looking Cabelas Alaska guide 3.5 - 10 X42 with rangefinding hash marks. he was asking $150.00
He ALSO had a brand new tasco world class 3-9X40 for $75.00
i did some wheeling and dealing ( mainly interested in the Cabelas scope) and bought both for $140.00
i got home and checked- that exact scope , in cabelas, is 349.99 new
so now my delima: my 358 Norma is probably going to kick, ALOT.
but i'll probably use the 30-06 10 to 1 over the 358 Norma.
what would you do? I'm leaning towards putting the cabelas scope on the 30-06 and just trying the tasco out on the 358. Tasco used to have a great exchange policy if something broke on their world class scopes ( anyone know if they still do?)
I'll still need to eventually upgrade the 358, but do you think the TASCO would work on the 358?
OR do i put the better CABELAS scope on the 358, it should be just fine , then put the Tasco one the 30-06 knowing it would take that recoil fine too?
i'm thinking i want a better scope one the one i'll have in my hands more often
AH, what am i worried about, like i'll ever be able to walk out the door with anything but my 300WBY in my hands![lol.gif lol](./images/smilies/lol.gif)
