Wow, concensus appears to favor very low powered scopes, I have been resisting mounting a scope on my .444 since getting it, but it came with the scope base and hammer spur so I am going to give in & mount a spare Bushnell 2.5-8x42 that I got off a buddy on a trade last year. Years ago I relied on a straight 6x scope, it served me well & back then I didn't trust the variable power scopes, with changes in scope design I have changed so now all my scopes are of the variable power style. Let us know how well the scope you ordered works for you on the range & in hunting situations.
