Considering scopes for a LA 101. So far it has a 36x Weaver benchrest scope while I figure out what it is capable of and the ammo it likes, but then something smaller and brighter that is more enjoyable to look through is desired. Mostly I shoot off a bench at 25, 50 and 100 yards.
The LA 101 is a pleasure to use. The first groups out of it were exceptional for my skill level. A good scope would increase the enjoyment. I can live with 4 to 9x, would really enjoy 20x or more capability but don't want a huge scope on the rifle. Money is always important, but I would rather cry one time when I pay for the scope than cry every time I use it.
Other than the max 9x of this VX-Freedom Rimfire 3-9x40 its reticle offers considerable flexibility and is cheap enough that if it is not good enough it can be moved to another waiting to be scoped rifle. If there is something better my budget can expand and a scope that could be moved to other centerfire rifles when desired also had considerable value to me. My main complaint with Weaver scopes is they are not bright enough to make the world sparkle when looking through them.
Thanks in advance
