TC1,
Some have brought up the 56MM as too large because it needs to be mounted high. I am having a custom rifle made. The stock will be wood with a high cheek piece because I want to take advantage of a high mounted scope.
Run the numbers though the ballistic computer with your hunting load for a scope mounted 1 1/2" above the bore and one mounted 2 3/8" above the bore. It's like gaining 100 feet per second over the one mounted 1 1/2" high.
