I was in the same situation a few years ago. Except I want an AK grizzly. I bought a 375 Ruger LH Hawkeye found here on 24 Hour Campfire. I put my Leupold VarX-III 2.5x8 on the rifle. I'm reloading my ammo. I've settled on 80 grains of IMR 4350 with a 270 Hornady round nose bullet. My Ruger really likes this load. I'm using the Ruger rings that came with the rifle, I can't comment on the QR rings. But if it says Leupold--it's quality.
Let me know when you start working up loads. I've got an assortment of bullets. I've also have factory ammo.
