If you dont have the scope in time - let me know. Have a spare on the shelf I can bring!

I have a brand new/spare 6KHM scope ring in case you need to fiddle with the ring heights. However, its 25mm and I know what optics you prefer...
See if this site helps (
https://shopruger.com/searchscopering.asp). IIRC Trev put me onto this when I bought my Predator.
Oh, which reticle are you getting?

Hmmm might have to bring my .243 77VT with STAC mounted.
Similar rifles and same scope - side by side comparison?

Looking forward to the trip

It should shoot as well or better than mine. Heavier barrel, slightly different stock,
Do you have more than one rifle in any calibre, or are you feeling the pull of dark side?

I hope you discussed this with your Sakos Mark; they are gonna get pretty peeved when they no longer get to go out and a Ruger is the favorite.......
Welcome to the club.

If someone has a STAC to loan I could bring my 223 Predator. A threeway comparison on near identical setups.
