You need to be a bit more specific with what you want to do with the telescope for a good recommendation, but check out Telescopes.com, they have a good selection.

Do you want a telescope to look at things on Earth, or in the sky, or both? On Earth, unless you are in a very high location, it's rare to be able to see more than 10 or 20 miles, if that. In the sky, even the smallest telescope can show you things a million light years away. Orion is a store which sells all kinds of telescopes, has a lot of good online advice, and good customer service:

This is NOT the same store as another answerer was recommending, even though the URLs are almost identical.

Most people buy telescopes for study of the cosmos, some of them are very expensive, you should research the subject before making a choice.
