Ended up ordering the Arken EPL4 4-16 44 from Doug today ( the last mil version they had in stock ). Thinking the reticle will be more suitable for what I want to do. Plus it doesn't hurt to save a few bucks and a few ounces over some of the other choices. Wishing it had a locking turret but other than that it seems to be pretty much what I was looking for. If I'm not happy with it in this application I'll move it to the 17HMR or one of the .22's. Thanks to all for your input.
