Sorry about the thread drift seif,
But I did get a laugh out of Mark.

But it really depends on what your looking for.
If just plinkin on steel and targets at say 75 yds, the low powers are fine.
If you're wanting to make itty bitty groups on paper then you want more magnification.
Hope the helps some.

Thanks for all the input guys. I'll probably go the 3-9 route, that way if I need it it's there for me.

I use a Weaver 1-3 x 20 on my 357. Works good for me considering the effective range of 357 cal.
This is the scope I'd recommend also. Natchez.com may have them. They're worth looking for.

One of the best low power variables I've used is the Leupold VX3i 1.5-5x. Optics are first rate. I've shot some very nice groups at 100 yards with that kind of magnification, by the way.

I agree with the Leupold. Mine is a 2-7x33. It should cover any of your shooting.

I have both Vortex Striker 1-6x24 and a Leupold 3.5-10x40mm. I prefer the Vortex only because it came with a BDC reticle. Leoupold offers scopes with BDC as well.
