Given it is the weight at 22 oz, FFP and the illuminated reticle and 22 power on top end, 50 mm objective, 30 mm tube and because i have not heard any real negatives about durability, i believe i will go with the Vortex Razor LHT 4.5-22x50. If it fails, i can get it replaced and put the replacement on another, less hostile recoil, rifle. Lots of great choices on mounting hardware but I do like the look of the NEAR mounts and they have stainless. Thanks for the heads up on that. I had never heard of them. I want to go with the rail to get perfect eye relief. I believe i have a decision. Thank you all for your considered responses. Good hunting. Or just shooting…
