That's why I gave the glass a maybe. I know people who scope anything with a stock and a rifled barrel. *shrugs* Thier call. I wouldn't do it, but I wouldn't say it is a bad idea.

But for a rifle with this kind of usage expected, I would say a scope is a disadvantage, particularly if it gets smacked. At best, you could loose the zero. At worst, you could have a non-quick release scope mount and a busted scope.
