pistol scopes

[Dougie_fn12]

does anyone use pistol scopes? if so which ones?

Hi Dougie....yes i've got a few pistols and 4 different pistol scopes...at the moment i've got a Bushnell 2-6x32 trophy on my Steyr LP50(great optics,but probably too much money for a pistol scope),a simmons 4x32(good optics),a NCStar 2.5x30(surprising little scope for the money) and a NCStar 4x32 with illuminated ret(again not too bad)......the thing you have to consider though is the balance of magnification against how much your hand shakes....the Bushnell shows this off perfectly,at 2 mag target is small but steady,but on 6 mag the target is nice and big but you shake like a shi**ing dog ;-).....if you decide on buying one ,drop me a line first as i am looking to maybe part with a couple.

Dougie,
like ChrisC I also have a Simmons 4x32 it's mounted on top of my Rohm although I do have a red dot too. I often alternate between the two.
be wary of the higher mag pistol scopes I have found 4x useable but would probably prefer the facility to use a lower mag. A 2-6x would probably be my ideal but I can't envisage ever using higher than 4x myself.

Depends what sort of shooting you're doing.

If its just plinking (serious plinking of course ) then the old Hawke red dots are quite good, reasonably priced, and quickish (and good fun both eyes open).

If you are doing serious precision stuff, well, the guys using the Rohm etc seem to have said it all, and are out of my league anyway

I use one on my Hurricane, its lots of fun, but I wont be entering any comps with it

Hi Dougie... What kind of barrel mounts have you got on the EB, as I'm looking for some.
