To me robust more than enough to take the bush shite, 30mm tube for light gather and the magnification values work well long and shortish distances too! I've got the MOA3 reticle which means either holdover or dial are options.

Currently living on my Tikka 7mmRem mag and has become a bit of a everything hunting rifle. So may be applicable to your plight!

I'm sure you'll get plenty of users of 284, 284AI, 7 SAUM and others along shortly... Enter 7mmSAUM

Tube diameter determines the amount of adjustment not the light gathering ability of a scope. The objective lense diameter is the biggest determining factor for light gathering. Go for a 50mm lense in the bush if possible.
