I don't think high magnification scopes are the answer for this type of shooting at all, as they often cause a person to second guess thier first, best shot opportunity. A lower power scope, say a four or a six, with a heavy crosshair would be about ideal if using an optic, or a red dot with a large MOA circle.
As to what would be easier? Most likley a low power scope with a heavy crosshair on a moderate recoiling, lighter rifle, with a great trigger.

Right on.
It seems that some of the doubters don't shoot peep-sighted rifles, for they know not how peeps make it instantly clear the hold is good and that it's
finish-the-trigger-press time.
With a reticle, esp. a thin one, time and energy (= fatigue) are wasted sampling the wavering quartered sight picture to confirm a good hold.
Rman what is the vertical range of that Lyman peep, in terms of being able to hold centre of target and get a hit? In other words, when the distance is known, how far out can you shoot by holding dead on simply by raising the peep (rather than holding over)?
