My only hesitation would be how good of a cheek weld you can get with a 56mm objective on a kicker. Unless of course it has an adjustable comb stock. Then it becomes moot.
The Nightforce stuff is pretty awesome. Don't look at it unless you are seriously considering it though, otherwise it might haunt you.

I try not to look through anything that is better than mine but did it last weekend and now I need a better scope... From what I have read they are awesome scopes and very well built..
I was choosing between the nf shv and the leupold mark 4 on my lrh in 6.5-284. I ended up with mark 4 because I got a great deal on it. Which nf are you looking into? I think the 5-25 is the atacr? I haven't handled or used one of those but I think they are big and heavy which may not matter to you. Decide what you want in a gun before choosing glass. Guns can get heavy quick. I learned that with my 300 rum that now tips the scales at 14+ lb. with this 6.5-284 I wanted a more pack able gun and am right at 10-10.3 lb. I don't think you can go wrong with a top shelf scope wether it be from Leupold, vortex, nf, or other brands. All in what you want also. Is zero stop a must? Etc.

If you do not have experience mounting that heavy of a scope on a rifle with a lot of potential for severe recoil...... be sure to research what it takes to keep it lfrom slipping in the rings.
