I had a 2x7 Burris compact on my .358. My .325 WSM has a 2.5x8 Leupold on it. I had to take the sights off to get the scope mounted low enough. The comb of the stock is a little high for the irons, and a little low for even low-as-it-gets scopes, IMHO. Like they kind of split the difference.
I did get one of my most visually spectacular kills on a deer with my .358 before I scoped it though. About 125 yards with the irons. That deer went ass over teakettle!!
