Scope for new lever

I recently put a deposit down on the Big Horn Armory Black Thunder .500 S&W Magnum. I choose that model as I like the look of it. I choose 500 as I have always wanted a 45-70 but have shoulder issues now and can't handle the recoil. At least I can use the pressure of the 500 in a muzzle brake to reduce it enough. My question comes does anyone have a scope recommendation? As you can see in the pic its more of a scout rail than a normal one.

Thank you.

I had a Leupold 2.5x8 Scout Scope with quick release Leopold rings. It worked great. But I wanted something I could use quick because of grizzlies. I recently put a Holosun 507C on it and love it. It is quick to aim and hits out to 300 are easy.
Nice looking rifle!

And you have enough eye relief with the scout rail?
