RE: I think I am going .280 - what about a scope?
I don't think you could go wrong with a Leupold Vari-X II. We've been using them for 30 years with no complaints. I'm not sure how much you want to spend but Cabela's is listing the Zeiss: 3.5-10 X 44 for $499. Zeiss is an excellent scope. I'd go with a variable with power up to at least 6X or 9X to take advatage of your flat shooting and accurate rifle.
