			I cannot help you out on the scopes because the only ones I own are Burris scopes.  However, regarding the rifle I only buy Rugers and have two of the Ruger 77 MKII's. One is a VT in .220 Swift and the other is a standard hunting rifle in .300 Win Mag. Both are stainless and I love both of them. 
 
My next bolt action rifle will be another Ruger 77 MKIIVT in .25-06 and I am going to put a Burris Black Diamond scope on it. I am hoping to use that rifle for almost everything, but only time will tell if it will work out that way.
