RE: which scope
I'd also go with the Conquest. That Rapid Z 600 is the bugs nuts and the glass is very good. However, the Sightron is no dog, but I don't like A.O.'s on regular big game rifles. The Sightron 3-9 X 42 with the HHR reticle would work very well and is over a $100 cheaper (usually). Good luck, those are very good choices.
