I just got a 7-08 ss takedown for a woods gun. I had a spare vx6 2-12x42 that I thought be would be great as I owned it! its not too big but the drop on the straight stock makes it impossible to have a cheek weld so shots go all over the place. I have low talley qd rings/mounts. I am putting a neoprene sleeve on it tomorrow that has the foam inserts to make a 'monte carlo' That will get me inline but then I was planning on putting on a skinner peep setup so I could use and pop off the scope. But then I wont be lined up for the peep with the added height of the cheek piece. So I might just bag the skinner idea and stick with the 2x for close work as the fov is huge.
I also thought about putting on a 2.5 leup scout scope with the qd rings and the skinner. Might still do that but use the 2-10 for load building/range work. Or maybe a 2-7/8 and keep it low and get rid of the stock sock.
I love the straight stock but its kinda worthless if you want to put on larger optics.
