SWFA 10x, only because the 6x aren’t available yet. These will set you back about $350. If you’d rather have a variable scope, then the SWFA 3-9x42 is hard to beat for $600.
Personally, I don’t like the looks of a fluted barrel, so I would never have it done. My lightweight rifles are my Remington Model Sevens. I’m really fighting the urge to buy the Howa Carbon Stalker in 6 ARC or 6.5 Grendel. That rifle is supposed to be sub 5 lbs bare rifle. 🤯

Personally, I shoot an Indian Creek .555 choke in my Rem 870 Youth 20ga. I get a consistent 300...
I haven’t had any issues getting good info from the internet, personally. Search engines haven’t jammed me up as much as it apparently does some folks. 🤷♂️
I didn’t get an exit. Both were quartering to me shots, so I guess it was to be expected with a softer bullet. However, I kinda figured it would exit. I feel like the regular ABs would have exited. The ABLR were very accurate and I may keep using them, but for longer ranges like they were...
