I just received one.  What scope and rings are you using?

Many thanks in advance.

If you will be walking and shooting off hand most of the time a 2X Leupold. If you`ll be hunting from a stand most of the time and have a rest then the 2 1/2 x 8 Leupold.

I agree with Catfish on the variable Leupold, but not the 2x fixed.  I would go with the 2x Burris.  It has a quicker site picture pickup then the Leupold.  I found with my Leupold and others I tried, are very hard to acquire the view when getting a little excited with a back strap, protein enriched deer in my face.  At least in my experience.    ;)
Just another voice in the crowd!!!

I also concur about the Leupold 2x.  I have it on my DW357max and it's a pain to acquire the target offhand.  I have a Burris on one of my Contender barrels and it's easy to shoot offhand, a sharp bright picture, when I sight the target and bring the scope up; it's there.
