RE: What kind of scope would you use???
Elite 3200 or 4200 for a reasonable priced scope. I use the 4200 on my ML and it has performed flawlessly, in many conditions & situations. I highly reccomend this scope for Moderate priced offering to any gun hunter. If money is less a concern, then Leupold is my suggestion, Vari X III is as solid as they come and you won't ever feel like you made a mistake buying this scope.
Make sure you use good rings and mounts with your next purchase, like burris or leupold.
