Don't know the "preferred" scope, but know that he shoots the Bushy HDMR because thats the best for what the budget allows (has a wife, a toddler, and another kid on the way). However he is currently rifleless as his rig was recently stolen on the journey from the last Army post in Alaska to his new civilian life in Texas. Sad story actually. John flew up to help load the most valuable possessions in a box trailer for the two of them to personally escort to Texas. The first night on the road everything was stolen, no insurance. All firearms and shooting gear, family heirlooms, etc. That was only a month or two ago.
Maybe John will chime in now that he is out of the army.
Actually didn’t loose the rifles. Had to ship those through the Army movers since he couldn’t drive them through Canada. But, elected to personally transport all the high value stuff he could to minimize pilfering by the movers. While spending the night in Ft. St. John BC, someone broke into the trailer and pretty much cleaned him out. About $10k worth of stuff by his reckoning Included Bushnell HDMR II, 10x SS, lots of fishing gear, clothes, wedding ring... The list goes on. Mounties came and did a report but we never heard anything else from them. Put a serious damper on what was otherwise an amazing trip.
The firearms actually arrived with his household goods, no problem.
