Magnificent cat Swiftshot. I'd be very happy with one like that. I do have a fixed-power 8 x 56 Kahles scope that I could put on. I have tested it as it gets dark and it is slightly better than my other scopes. But I only got an extra 5-10 minutes of shooting as it got dark. I just thought I'd be handicapped with such a high magnification on any follow up shot if needed (and if I were to get the chance). I could take .243, .270, .308 and .338 all of which I can shoot well and have done so frequently. I just think that with .308, if the bullet doesn't hit anything hard, at least I have a .308 size hole. Also, the rifle is blued with a black stock which will give great camouflage at night, and with a short-action and 22" barrel easy to handle in a blind.
