For the money, I think I'd have to agree with Peak. I just bought one of these myself, and I'm pretty pleased with it so far. Optically, it compares favorably to my Simmons 44 Mag. We'll see about longevity. That said, I think you may be setting yourself up for scope failures. The 54 is a notorious scope killer, it may be recoilless for the shooter, but scopes seem to take a worse than usual pounding. I've seen reports of 54's killing even high end scopes. Do you really need a 4-16? You might be better off with a smaller, lighter scope, either the Leapers compact if you can get one with good optics, or even a fixed power. Bug Buster maybe, although the ones I've seen had even crappier optics than the compact. Anyway, good luck, and keep us posted. Later.
