The more I think in this the more my budget grows. I'm having a hard time convincing myself that the Leupold MK6 3-18 wouldn't be about perfect in this role. The only downside I can see if the chunky 34mm tube might look a little odd on this rifle but it is short, it's light and has usable reticles.

I wouldn't buy at msrp, but I do have access to them at a sizable discount. The one on my AR15 has been superb.

I am also seriously considering the March 3-24x42.
