Hi Yall...Newbie Here. Pistol scope question - 06/15/2010 8:51 PM
Hi guys
I've been lurking here for a few weeks. I'm no stranger to the hunting groups. I'm 32 and have grown up hunting fishing and trapping in Missouri. I have had my Conceal & carry permit for about 5 years and shoot alot.
I am however new to handgun hunting other than dispatching trapped critters with a .22 during trapping season.
I recently bought this Taurus 608 in .357. My plan is to work up a nice 158 gr. handload and bring a little excitment back to deer season.
The scope shown is an NCStar 4x32. The first thing I did is jerk that hunk of junk scope off and get rid of it. I'm not sure if I will put a scope on or just keep shooting it the way it is but if I do I think I'll go with the plain pistol scope over the reddot.
Here is my question....Can I get a decent quality scope for around $100 if so which brand and type do you guys recommend?
Also what is the average magnification on most pistol scopes?
This 4 power seemed like too much to me ..All I could see was how much I was shaking.
