thoughts? any other recommendations? thanks all
You will need more experience with scopes, and time to figure out your goals for your purchase.
Consider renting a scope for a bit to see what size/weight and zoom meets your needs.
And take your LRF to a local store like Cabela's or Sportsman's and try some of their scopes outdoors.
Once you get some experience, you'll have a better idea of what questions to ask.
