You made a wise choice on the rifle.....very wise, however, your coice of scope is .....well for me, puzzling. Did you consider the Zeiss Conquest? Leupold hasn't done anything innovative in 20 years....they rest on their laurels while the other manufactures pass them by......then they say oh gosh......someone came out with a BP reticle.....lets make a Boone and Crockett and jack the price up. I would reconsider your choice of scope to complement your fine rifle......it would be wise to investigate the Zeiss Conquest and Nikon Buckmaster. Both of these scopes beat out the Leupold in dim light tests we conducted last summer. Same warranty......better performance. Regards, Rick.
