Bottom line is what do you need the rifle to do, and what are you comfortable with. Old Bob and grayfox are pretty much spot on. I have never had good luck with QD scope mounts. Every one I have tried and seen, including some high end ones, get you close, but never exactly on. I'm running a 30mm tube 4-16 on my ARC right now, that seems to be a good balance between field of vision and precision shot magnification. I run 4-20x, a 3-15x, and 6-24x on my other rifles. Don't recommend the 6-24 for hunting. For my scopes, I like a 3x or 4x on the low side, with the max as high as I can afford. Of course, my hunting conditions in Arizona are far different from yours in Alabama. Hope this helps.
