Howdy all- my dad just bought one of these in .243 and I’m about to get peppered with questions looking for advice. Problem is I’m not a lever guy and I know even less about this particular one.

Scope mounts/rings recs? Any particular type of scope better than another? Thinking a 4x M8 might be good here.

Anyone reload for one of these and have a load they like? Main targets will be deer/hogs. I have a .243 bolt gun I reload for and a pretty good variety of projectiles on hand. From the 5 minutes of googling I did on this thing I see a box mag so I don’t think I’m limited in my choices there.
