I'll get another 25% off that price as well since I purchased it from a reputable seller on eBay and used the Live cashback promotion. But as far as price goes I was just wondering how good this scope choice was for price compared to other scopes in this price range.

I'm gonna go ahead and go with the Leupold mount and rings like you suggested. I like them the best and the mount that's on my gun now looks like the standard Leupold mount and rings so it should be no problem swapping.
