Update:

The barrel is at the shop getting threaded. Should be back next week.

In the mean time, I did some home work and settled on a scope choice(s). Actually several..

For brand I chose Leupold, for all the standard reasons. Looked at Vortex, Sightmark, Steiner, Zeiss, Trijicon....

Within the Leupold's were the VX-3 (1inch) and VX-R (30mm,firedot). In my not to scientific match-up, the VX-3 had better eye relief, twilight vision, lighter.

For power I looked for something in the 10x to 16x mag. I looked at a lot of scope pics "at the range" and at 300 yds a 6x is good for minute of man,, maybe a bit better,, so I X'd the 3-9 power. With my eyes I decided to go higher.

Price range under 1K, using ebay, I managed to get 35% off retail new, store demo, w/full warranty.

Mount? LaRue is not the only one out there, but it is available, with discount, if you hunt.. The others: Leupold, Warne, GG&G, & ADM.

Delivered today: Leupold, VX-3, 66430, Duplex, 4.5-14x40 & LaRue SPR LT-104

Examples: 300yds, 24x, 12x, 6x
