I've been looking through this and other forums for quite awhile and I've never come across a 500 Linebaugh with a scope. Has anyone seen one? Why do you think this is not normally done? I see 454, 45 LC, 475L, 460, and 500 SW all the time with scopes. I know it goes against Johns idea of the 3 P s. What's you thoughts?

I had a red dot on mine, however, it wasn't a single action.

I don't build 500s for long range work so I prefer them to be short and open sighted. I have toyed with the idea of a 9" scoped 500 Wyoming just for fun though.
A true Linebaugh single action with a scope mounted would just look "wrong" in my eyes

My thoughts exactly. It would be an aesthetic killer.

My thoughts exactly. It would be an aesthetic killer. Maybe with the scope mounts low enough and a big enough bell on the scope, we could use the barrel band to make sure the scope doesn't slip forward in the rings

That's a .500 Smith BFR. We're talking .500 Linebaugh on a "normal" sized revolver -- a Blackhawk to be exact. I stuck a red dot on my .50 Alaskan recently to get some weight on top.

It might look nice as a Bisley Hunter model.

The guy asked what a scoped 500 LB would look like. That's as close a picture I could find. Forgive me for not being "spot on".....
