I can speak about the Kifaru. The simple answer is yes to all of your questions except the last and the answer to the last question is it feels better as weight is added to it. Under a lot of weight is where Kifaru really shines.
I love my meopta meostar. I got a great deal on their 2.5-15x56 scope. It will get me to legal shooting light very easy. I have to watch the clock so I'm not illegal because if I hunt until I can't see through my scope anymore I would be well into illegal hunting time. I have heard great things...
