Smart choice, I think you will be happy you left it as an 8x60S once you get set up, you can see pictures of mine on this site by searching for Heinrich Scherping with the search window. The only difference in the 8x60 & 8x60S is the 8x60 uses a .318 dia bullet & the 8x60S uses a .323 which are much more available. You should be able to buy factory RWS ammo also but it is expensive but comes with the really good H-mantel bullets. The standard loading will be 196 grn driven at about 2500 fps. If you PM me with you e-mail address I will try to attach some data on it and send to you.
