Scope for .416 Ruger?

[ldmay375]

Just picked up a Ruger Hawkeye African in 416 Ruger, thinking about putting a lightweight low powered scope on it with those Alaska Arms quick detach scope rings. Any suggestions on a scope?

I have used 1.1-4x24, 1.5-6x42, 1.5-8x42, 1-6.3x24. The 1-4 / 1-6 straight 30mm tubes are probably my favorite general use scopes. I am more concerned with very close to less than 250 yard shots. But, I would attempt to tailor my scope to expected use.

I have a Leupold VX-lll 1.5-5x withe the no longer available heavy duplex reticle on mine. Very pleased with it, and it performed well in Africa, but if doing it again, would probably put a Trijicon Accupoint 1-6x on it.
