RE: Best optic
I am leaning toward a Sherpard range finder scope. This based on A good friend of mines expierence useing his new one on an antelope hunt this last fall. He was impressed with it performance. He is not easy to impress.

RE: Best optic
Earlier I mentioned the Leupold Vari X III' s as my preferred riflescopes. I believe they represent a good compromise between costs vs. performance. I have also owned Schmidt & Bender, Kahles, and Zeiss riflescopes (among the better European scopes). They are in fact very, very, good optics. But they are also very, very, expensive. (I haven' t yet tried the reduced price Zeiss' s....meant for the American market....so I won' t comment on them.) If in fact you can afford the better of the European scopes, and have no qualms with using them on " working" rifles, by all means seriously consider them. But if they are a " little rich" for your blood....the Vari X III' s are very nice scopes. (Leupold absolutely supports it' s products.)
