Folically Challenged, I already have a scope for the rifle. It's both high quality and a Giant. (Zeiss Conquest 4.5 x 14 x 44m). Why do you suggest avoiding a "giant'?
1. It will look goofy.

2. It will change the fast-handling characteristics of the rifle.

3. It will add extra weight to a rifle that's designed to be carried.

4. It will change the cheek weld position of the rifle. You want a fast handling rifle to come up immediately to your
cheek, & have the scope be lined-up perfectly for your eyes. If you're shooting prarie dogs, or doing range shooting,
you can wiggle around for quite a while as you get yourself all adjusted to make the shot.

5. It will look goofy.

That's just my bias. Hold the scope up to the rifle, & see what you think. That scope will certainly be incredible to look through!
