Pro-line, I understand about the activists...and thanks for the welcoming! Scope shouldn't be a prob. I've got an old Leupold my dad gave me..its kinda scratched up...but the optics are still in good condition. I also have a Bushnell on my Mosin M44..haven't had much luck zeroing in that one, so it might have to come off. Its a sportsman 3-9x32. Sound like a winner? I'll do some homework on the Leupold though, eh?

As for Remington or Savage....that's gonna be a tough decission for me. I've got a Savage 4C-.22 that's probably twice my age...but it shoots great with iron sights! Granted, most 22-250's don't have sights. The accu-trigger does look pretty "friend impressing" though!!
