You won't know which way to go until you try one one your rifle. If you don't like it just remove it a put a thread protector on the barrel and your good to go.
The older I get the less I like recoil, but the reason I use a break is to help me stay on target to see my hits or misses. I know proper technique would help with muzzle jump as well.
I agree with Rob, why not the 5X25. With a first focal plane scope you can turn down the power and still use your mil marks. I also sold my leupolds to upgrade to the S&B and it was worth it.
I a perfect world no one would bid on it. But he'll get what the market will bear. The market just needs to be a little smarter. Kind of like paying $90 for a $16 brick of 22lr ammo.
