I would love any Swarovski scope, but a bit out of my price range. :)

I'd get that Leupold Compact and call it a day. You'll never regret having that one.

Got offered a Leupold Vari-X III 1.75-6x32 with heavy duplex at a lower price so I bought it, had some weaver extended rings laying around so I used them, will buy some other rings later on.

That should be a perfect scope for your 44 AW. Great choice. Even tho the 3-9 was a compact (which I don’t believe are made any longer) this scope in my opinion will look better on your 44. 6x is certainly enough magnification for 44 mag.

It looks great, I love it. Just mounted a freshlymade ammoholder I ordered a few weeks ago. I should get new rings but well it works even though its extension versions of the weaver rings. Hope it works, I used blue loctite on the railscrews.

A photo made it look old :)

I always use lowpower scopes when hunting, but it was hard to get a nice small scope ive been searching a couple of months and then this landed in front of me.

That really looks good ruhler. That ought to work just fine. I have a Leupold VX-1 2-7x33mm shotgun scope on my Henry .45 Colt and it appears to be like yours. Sure like mine. I believe mine is discontinued tho.

Looks great but Ive always like the looks of the AW. I wish they made one in a Carbine model I would buy one of those.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Tried to zero the Scope today at 100meters and ran out of adjustment in elevation, Impact a foot low with elevation maxed out.. Not sure how to adress this issue this scope has very little adjustment compared to other scopes. Maybe I will switch scope with my other Rifle it has a Leupold VXR 2-7x33 that scope has 4times more elevation adjustment. So I need new rings for 30mm, perhaps leupold qrw2 low would work.

It does look great. What did they charge for the ammo holder? I’ve been looking for a similar one here, but everyone that makes them is saying 6 months or more to get one!
