That stock looks great!

I do not have much experience with low magnification scopes, but have always been a fan of a 3-9x or a 4-14x variable just in case. Leupold vx-iii's have ridden many of my hunting rifles and I have never, until lately, found them lacking.

I live out west and while I have taken shots inside of 60 yards, most are 100-300 on big game. As I have increased my abilities I have come to feel handicapped if shooting a scope without target style turrets which the vx-iii's don't usually have. that's my problem and doesn't sound like an issue for your type of hunting.
