Scope for the big boy 44
I have a red dot on my rifle right now. Thinking about a regular one with cross hairs. Courious as to what some of you might be using and what your thoughts are on them. Years ago the irons would have been nice when I could see better. Thanks.

Re: Scope for the big boy 44
I had a red dot on a rifle for one day. (Still for sale in the "Classifieds"). I put a Burris scope on my .327 BB.

I have a 2x7 on my 30-30 but on a 44mag I might go with a 1x4 or a 1x6. Just my thoughts.

Put a Leupold 2-7 freedom on my 44 mag SS. Would have preferred a 1.5-4x, but couldn't find one at the time.

Same for me Greyhawk; Leupold 2-7 on my .45 BB, Weaver 1-3x20 on my brass BB .357.

I added the Talley one piece scope mount and a Leupold FX-II 2.5x20. Lots of eye relief, a large field of view and, even with the 20mm objective lens, plenty of light transfer at dusk and dawn.
