The best that you can afford! I would advise you to try different scopes for the clarity and workmanship and decide for yourself.I have always made a promise to myself that when you pay good money for a rifle capable of shooting that distance accurately why go cheap on a scope.Most of the european made scopes with a 30mm scope tube diameter will give excellent light gathering.Zeiss,schmidt & Bender,swarovski,Meopta,are some prime examples.American made scopes of quality are Leupold,Burris,etc.I would say that the power of your scope does not need to exceed 14x.So a nice 4x-14xpower scope should do you just fine.The bigger the object lenses the more visability at low light.I would suggest a 44mm,or at most a 50mm objective.The nice thing is a European scope with the tube diameter of 30mm will gather more light without having to exceed a 44mm objective lens,which puts the scope closer to the barrel of your rifle.Good luck!

What scope is best for a maximum range of 120 feet?
Depends on the use of the scope - target, hunting, etc. Will also depend on the caliber, and whether firearm or air rifle or handgun. 120 feet (40 yards) is not a great distance (I predator hunt at 500-600 yards) so a very high magnification scope is not needed- 2.5- 4x should be adequate unless you are shooting TINY targets.

What power of magnification is best for rifle shooting out to 300 yards?
Depends on what you are shooting. Targets, varmints, or big game. for deer, I use a 3x9 variable. An expreme high power scope may limit the field of view to a degree that I can't FIND the deer in the scope. Long range target, a 12 power scope. Varmints (woodchuck) I use a 6x24 power. More powerful scopes tend to have a smaller field of view, and be less bright.
