Madmax,
I know you know this already, but wait to select your scope and ring combination after the pipe is installed so you can see what clearance you will have with the objective piece. You will want some tough rings with a solid reputation for the big boy. I've seen guys blow their optics off their custom .338 LM rifles when they were pushing 250gr loads at insane pressures. Looks like you have the one-piece Surgeon action, so you don't have to worry about your rail blowing off.
Did you say how much MOA cant is in that receiver? Great choice really. Rob some crack dealers and buy as many scopes as you want, starting with the Hensoldt! Or better yet, become a school super attendant and rob the taxpayers!
