I have a Ruger .44 Mag. Had a Bushnell reddot on it when I bought it. It just broke the other day would like to replace with a good handgun scope. Any ideas out there? I have a feeling it broke because of shock. Thanks

I am looking for a hog hunt somewhere cheap and maybe on puplic land. Something I have always wanted to do but now I have a handgun it sounds just alittle more fun. Thanks

You can't go wrong with a Leupold 2x. They are spendy new ($300) but can be had used for half that. Rod.
Rod, too.
Short cuts often lead to long recoveries.

If you want to stay with a red dot I recommend an Aimpoint.

I would stay with a 2X. Leopold’s are nice, but they are proud of them. I have a tendency to look at Burris.

I would go with the 2x Leupold first but the burris and nikon are both excellent scopes too. I think natchez still has the 2-6x firefly on sale for 149.00 too, it's a little bulkier scope but it's a decent optic and for the price you can't beat it.

LOL!!!! If the truth hurts.

I am still a Burris guy. Sorry. I have to admit, the 2-6 Bushy, from Natchez, is nice on my 22 Hornet.
