Bill,
Sounds like you have a really pretty rifle. BLR's are exceptionally good hunting guns. They are light, handy, well balanced, & accurate. I have found that I appreciate the quick handling qualities of the rifle more, if I keep the scope & mounts as light as possible. Remember, you are hunting big stuff, so you don't need lots of magnification. My .358 wears either a receiver sight or a Leupold M8 mini 4x. I'm about to mount a mini variable on a .270 WSM.
Don't be disappointed if your groups begin to spread after 3 shots. The barrels are light, & they tend to heat up quickly. I think you're going to love this gun.
