SRS Covert Accessories?

[Vapor Trail]

I'm starting a new project, loosely centered around on-the-fly pig-hunting. I have some questions about accessories I'd like to run by you gentlemen.

The platform itself will be the Covert in .308 Win: http://www.deserttacticalarms.com/dta-srs-covert-sniper-rifle-chassis.html?___SID=U

My first question is whether or not I need their muzzle brake. Will it significantly aid with follow-up shots? Is it a must-have with such a short barrel? http://www.deserttacticalarms.com/accessories/muzzle-brakes/dta-srs-muzzle-brake-assembly.html

My main question has to do with choice of optic. I have narrowed it down to two scopes that excel at the ranges I'll be shooting at. Which one do you think I should purchase for the Covert?

OR

You'll never post pics of the rifle nor the scope because you won't buy them. Please stop mucking up this forum with your gun buying fantasies.
