I put a Vortex Viper 2-7 w/ bdc on my RAR and have been very happy with it.

It really depends on what you want to do with the gun. Small and light for hunting small game.
Or, if like me you are more interested in target shooting, maybe something like this:

A budget would help narrow down options.

FFP or SFP?
Maintube size? I assume 30mm since you have a LT104.  Personally I think AR height (1.4") mounts on a bolt gun is a bit to high for my preference.  

I am planning on using Vortex low (0.90") rings on my build.  Might have to use medium size if I run into clearance issues between low rings and 50mm objective with a 25moa cant on a medium contour barrel.  my application is mostly a precision rifle trainer with the open possibility for small game hunting.  I also have 10/22 with a Vortex 1-4 PST that I also intend to use for small game/target shooting.

I have a Vortex PST 4-16 Gen1 FFP optic.  You can dial parallax down to 50yds. Has illumination, FFP, graticuled reticle for ranging and hold overs, 30mm mainttube, 50mm objective since you mentioned you were itching for a large objective, turrets are very tactile and zero stop capable.  Vortex has a great warranty too and they stand behind their product. I like cat tails and the Switchview is great as well.  Eurooptics had them on sale for $460.  It has great glass. Vortex Viper PST 4-16

Downside would be weight and size compared to dedicated rimfire optics.

I have a brace of Vortex Diamondback Rimfire scopes for my 10/22 Target and Ruger American Rimfire LRT. They are pretty good, but I'm sure there is much nicer glass out there.

I swapped my 3x9 Leupold Rimfire from my Volquartson to my M77/22, then mounted a Leupold 3x9 EFR on the Volquartson.

A simmons.22 scope that I can't remember the model of. Mounted on a remington scoremaster.

Probably over 30 years old (scope) now. Holds zero surprisingly well.

Nightforce ATACR 7-35x56 Mil-C

I have a Burris Timberline 4-14 on my American Rimfire.  Compact and plenty of magnification for shooting .22.

I'm planning on getting a Primary Arms 6x for my new TCR22.

I went with a Vortex Strike Eagle 5-25x with EBR-7c reticle.  Seems to be cutting the mustard, granted it went on a precision 22 and not a takedown model .

I have a Savage 22 with a Primary Arms 4-14 on LaRue mounts. It’s an awesome combination.

I liked mine but it died.  I used it on several 10/22’s for several years but last year it stopped holding zero.

Lots of folks over on rimfirecentral.com really, REALLY like those scopes. A friend has one and I can see why.
On my rifles I've got a Leupold Var-x III 6.5-20 on a Tikka T1x for targets, a Vortex Diamondback HP 2-7x on a RAR 22lr for squirrels, a Leupold VX-2 on a RAR 22mag also a hunting rig, a couple of Hawke Vantage,a  3-9 and a 4-12 on plinkers, and a Vortex Diamonback 2-7 rimfire on a 10/22 Tiger stock.

I have a boat paddle stainless sweet rifle I paid 2x what my 10/22 cost for less accuracy which was a huge disappointment

Current rifle is a mk2 savage and I put a vortex HST 4-16 on it.
My next is going to be a Bergara hmr .22 and I will probably put a pst gen 2 5-25 or a leupold mk5 on it.

I’m not sure what moa base I have on the mk 2 but I was maxed out on elevation and sub tensions trying to hit a steel target at 225 with subsonics
