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.
