Well just purchased my new scope. It a Premier Heritage 3-15x50 with the Gen 2 retical...Now I guess my build is complete. I will post pictures once it is finished....

Time tested set-up. no reason why it won't be a hammer. I'll be interested in seeing your thoughts on the Premier.

Well I received the Premier Heritage scope and all I can say I WOW, this thing is huge...Can't wait to mount it on my new build when it is done. The glass is clear and the knobs are easy the adjust and access. The Gen II reticle is crystal clear at all magnifications. Distance calculation with the Mil-Dot and hash marks are simple. Calculated a stop sign at 112 yards and when I took out my range finder and I was on by -/+ 2 yards...Will post pictures of my build when it is done....
