Butch,
I'll also be interested in your choice of scope as I'm assembling a lightweight Rem Model 7. I threw on a SS 6x which should be infinitely useful, but I don't like the look or feel.
I think I would like a lighter scope w/something like a B&C reticle.
Please let us know your outcome. Not sure how quickly mine will return once it gets dropped off at the local gunsmith.
