It balances real nice(like a long shotgun) with a supressor I doubt will feel a thing with recoil. will just have to (as you said)look through some glass and find something that fits.

I was a bit like you mate, after many years of using a low power scope (2.5-8x36) when i bought my t3x 7rm i wanted a scope with 3x at the low end and ended up with a Zeiss HD5 3-15x44.
I do a lot of bush hunting as well but i find i set my scope on 4x most of the time with no problems. My Zeiss has quite a large field of view which helps up close and is something to consider when choosing a scope. If i was looking for a scope now i would consider a VX5 or a Burris Signature as a cheaper option. cheers
