That's a nice looking rifle. Is it a single stack or staggered feed magazine?

The Leupold 2.5x compact with Talley rings and bases will hold up no problem. I had one on my .585 nyati for more than 3 years without so much as a hiccup. The Leupold 2.5x has a very short eyepiece, and I was never in danger of being hit, even when I got 750 grains up to 2320 fps.
