Been breaking in my 12.7 build, with a KAK blade stabilizer... and a 2-7x32 Nikon I had laying around. Tried a red dot but my eyes just weren't up to it... the 2-7x seems to work well, I have it zeroed at 50 right now. I had a 7.25" HG on it but swapped that out for a 9.5-er.
It does scratch the brass -- not terribly bad but noticeable. I'm going to do some more smoothing in the chamber and lugs before getting it out more.
Some initial MV tests:
