I've got a AA16" and put a Leupold 2.5-8x on top for mid-range use. When working up loads the 8x is great at 100-200yds. And for deer hunting I can drop down to 2.5x for close in shots. It also didn't add a lot of weight, I wanted a light weight deer rifle. If I was shooting 300yds or more I'd go for more top end magnification. All depends on your intended use.
