This scope works great at 100 yards if you shooting paper targets you can crank power up and even spot your groups no problem. And long range you can see mirage very well and these scopes have great eye relief. I do not think it is overkill if you shooting at 100 or 1200 yards it’s a good scope you can shoot at 50 but wouldn’t go any closer the parallax adjustment is 50 yards to infinity
These are first focal plane scopes.

To mount the Steiner T5Xi 5-25x56 mm Rifle Scope to a Ruger Precision Rifle I recommend using a set of 34mm Extra High Rings or a Cantilever mount. The mount at the link below will work.

Plain and simple it is a great scope with great glass. Is it right for you? That is up to your preferences. This is a long range, precision rifle scope with tactical style exposed turrets. If that is what you prefer when big game hunting then sure. Normally less magnification and covered turrets are what we see most hunters go with.
