Does anyone have any experience and/or opinions on using this scope on a handgun? I noticed it has 9.45" eye relief and I was thinking about trying one on a CVA Scout. It's a 6.5 with muzzle brake and recoils very little. What say you?

My son uses scout scopes on his pistols.Easier to get a full field of view from hunting positions and tree stands with the shorter eye relief. He prefers the Bushnell over the Vortex,better crosshair for him. He uses his on his 7-30 Waters with no problems.

I ended up putting a 2-8x Weaver Pistol Scope on the .243 Win Scout Pistol and moving the Vortex 2-7x Scout Scope over to my .223 Rem Contender Pistol.

I have two NcStar illuminated 2-7 scout scopes, both on 22's. One on my Single Six Hunter, and one on my TC Contender. I like the shorter eye relief on these for squirrel hunting, as I usually have my bent instead of straight.

Thanks PsTaN and Zee! I think you guys have answered all the concerns I had. I believe I'll go with a pistol scope. It's nice to have a place like this to go and get real world info. instead of having to take a chance and purchase something and not be satisfied with it. Thanks again.
