Hi fellas,
Just got myself a lovely LA102 in .223 and looking to chuck a scope on it. Looking to do a mix of mostly target shooting (Max 500ish meters?) with a little hunting thrown in on the odd occasion. Currently tossing up between the Meopta Optika5 3-15x44 and the Leupold VX-Freedom 3-9x40. I've heard great things about Meopta optics in general and am leaning towards it, but the lifetime warranty and reputation of the Leupolds is hard to look past. For comparison the Optika has a 10 year warranty with registration. Not to mention Meoptas are heavy as balls from what I've heard. Any advice on a starter scope and rings to suit would be appreciated!
