I have a CVA Scout II single shot pistol in 300blk, topped with a Bushnell Elite 3500 2-6x. That scope, in my opinion, represents a tremendous bang-for-the-buck. It's crystal clear, and has a constant eye relief throughout the zoom range. I like having the ability to go from 2 to 6 power, even if it sacrifices a tiny amount of FOV against a 2x fixed power scope. My 44 is in the form of a Ruger SBHH, and wears a Burris Fastfire 3. At revolver ranges (less than 70yds or so) I like the speed and ease of the dot infinitely better than a scope. Welcome to the forum from a fellow GA boy!
