Re: Specific scope recommendation
Danny, he's using subsonic and thus has quite large drop.
ShotCaller, when talking about premium European hunting optics, I have hard time finding a real world difference between 50mm and 56mm objective. 50mm will save you some weight and bulk. Going fixed power would save you some money.
E.g. Zeiss offers you exposed elevation turret ("custom BDC") and either 1 MRAD illuminated center cross, or illuminated mildot. Most times you can custom order a reticle also (like have mildot fitted to 7x50 Diatal).
