How do i scale a prefab laser to hit.distance

So i have a prefab laser and I was wondering how do i make it scale on the z axis when it hits an enemy? I want it basically like a laser pointer and stop when it hits an enemy. I have it done with a line renderer. But i want to use my laser prefab. Please help!

Using Line Renderer (Works perfectly)

 LineRenderer lineRenderer = (LineRenderer)player.GetComponent(typeof(LineRenderer));
 lineRenderer.useWorldSpace = false;
 lineRenderer.SetVertexCount(2);
 RaycastHit hit;
 Physics.Raycast(transform.position,transform.forward, out hit);
 if(hit.collider)
 {
     lineRenderer.SetPosition(1,new Vector3(0,0,hit.distance));
 }
 else
 {
     lineRenderer.SetPosition(1,new Vector3(0,0,100));
 }

Using Laser Prefab (Doesnt scale properly)

 RaycastHit hit;
 if(Physics.Raycast(weaponSpawn.transform.position,lookPos, out hit,100F))
 {
     if(hit.collider.gameObject.CompareTag("Enemy"))
     {
         objCreatedLaser.transform.localScale = new Vector3(0,0,hit.distance);                
         Debug.Log("Enemy");
         Debug.DrawRay (weaponSpawn.transform.position, lookPos, Color.red);
 
     }
     else
     {
         objCreatedLaser.transform.localScale += new Vector3(0, 0, 10F);        
         Debug.Log("No Enemy");
         Debug.DrawRay (transform.position, lookPos, Color.blue);
     }
 }
