Nice rifle, well done. Really can't go wrong with that Winchester
Scopes, that's whole new learning curve for you. I've prolly mounted and sighted 50 scopes in as many years. For myself, family and my friends' project rifles. Easy to get too much technology. BDC reticles, big objective lenses, adjustable objectives, etc.
Hunting means it's clear and clean every time you bring the rifle to bear. To me, that means a good 4x, or maybe a 6x max. No need for a variable. Mount it as low to the bore as you can with good cheek weld. We don't know what size or shape head you have and that can make a difference ...
I'd prolly put a 1/4" neoprene stick-on cheek pad on there. A 1" tube in Quad-Lok mounts will not go anywhere. Mounted so it almost touches the barrel is nice, but leave room for a lens covers.
Do you hunt fog, rain, or cold that will condense on a lens? Reason I ask is because, although you'll get many scope recommendations, I'd add Bushnell Elite to your list if wet is in the offing... Their proprietary Rainguard Coating does work and it helps. The scopes are fine and hold up well.
Just one more to add to the mix
