I have a D3300 and checked in to several options for the 70-300mm lens. I ultimately decided on the Tamron AF 70-300mm f/4.0-5.6 SP Di VC USD XLD. If you time it right (when Tamron offers a $100 rebate) it ends up being about $150 less than the comparable Nikon lens.
The only heads-up is that there seems to be some variation in the build quality and it took three tries to get a copy with the image quality the reviews all rave about.
That said, it was easy to exchange them with Amazon, and the images I'm getting now are bright and tack-sharp. This is a fantastic lens to consider.

I am actually selling that lens right now on ebay for a really good price. In my listing I have examples that I shot recently to show how it performs. But I borrowed from paypal to get my 150-600, so the 70-300 has to go.

I upgraded from a D3300 to D5300. No question, the D5300 is much better! I have a Sigma 150-600C and was not happy with it on the D3300, but once I changed to the D5300, the difference was significant. Go with the 5300, you won't regret it.

I upgraded from a D3200 to a D5300. I still have the D3200 and use it sometimes because it does have an AA filter, which is useful in some rare cases. But I wanted to be able to bracket exposure and also wanted the flippy screen on the D5300. I got mine from Cameta refurbished by Nikon with 38 shutter clicks for $399 body only. I've been very happy with it. Lots of image making power there, and the auto focus is pretty darn quick!
