Eight pounds isn't heavy. Just try finding an M-14 type that weighs less than 9lbs...
Anyway, like somebody mentioned, some people just shoot off bags.

Just get a basic threaded sling swivel, or, if possible, get a backing plate inside the handguard.
Yes. I'm a big fan of Nikon's Monarch line. I have a 2-8x32 on my M-14, which is a notorious scope-killer, and it's held up fine. You can find a 2.5-10x for under $300 if you shop around.
At 2x I can use the scope very close in, and with both eyes open, so I don't bother with the iron sights anymore.
