New toy: Ruger Gunsite Scout

Wanted a bolt action companion for my .308 Garand and really liked the versatility of this rifle. Nice iron sights and the ability to mount a scout scope or traditional scope, lightweight, composite stock, box magazine, and nice muzzle brake. I don't hunt often but it should be plenty capable for that as well (and easier to tote than the M1). Anyone else have one of these? If so, any suggestions for glass? I'm leaning toward a scope mounted in the traditional position and thinking about a 2x7.
