Thank you,

Based on the price of the rifle.

Sightron III 8-32x56mm

Something like that would be excellent. Hard to beat the glass in these things for the price.

Doing it again I'd go for NF Benchrest or NXS.

Based on the price of the rifle.

It would be helpful for you to post a budget and that certainly affects what people can recommend

The OP suggested the rule many suggest, which is an optic valued near the price of the rifle it's being used on.

In his case, the rifle retails for approx $1500 based on the link he provided, so that's what I assume is the basic criteria.

I think the most helpful thing the OP can do is post his budget (taxes in, taxes out) and any specific features he'd like to see for the rifle to get the best opinion from the audience possible

To the OP's question then I would suggest looking at the Athlon Ares BTR if you're looking at an FFP scope
