it's hard to beat a fine crosshair or fine crosshair with target dot on any silhouette rifle.
complimented with target turrets for adjustments, side or adj. obj. and it's a winning combo.
a good one on the lower price scale is the nikon buckmaster, on the higher scale is leopold, with weaver being in the middle.
if a dedicated silhouette rifle setup, you may want to consider mounting the scope "canted" to match your stance, so when in your stance, the reticle looks straight. that'll help with elevation adjustments without any windage adjustments, and be a point of reference to let you know your stance is consistant.
side note i had a 110 v in .223, i sold it, i shouldn't have. probably the most accurate rifle i ever had, or ever will have. something is telling me it had a 26" barrel, at the time it was nasty to carry for wood chucks and such, that was my pre-competition era. now i'd wish i had that back. i was running 40 gr vmax varmint express through it, it shot like a laser. you may realize though that turkey and ram are going to be tough to get good solid knock over hits with a .223, so if your S is going to be your silhouette rifle, you may be better off just keeping it .308. .243 being about as light as you should go if you want to rebarrel, maybe even 7-08, .260, and other .308 knecked down stuff. then bolt face isn't an issue.
