Ruger 77/50

[markreid]

Got a ruger 77/50 .50 in line black powder rifle, thinking of putting a scope on it, does anybody know of a scope that would be upto the job, i.e., would withstand the recoil and also something that is reasonably cheap or can be picked up cheap on the s/hand market ?

hi,i use a Simmons 1.5-5 x20 on my 45/70 Marlin 1895 with full house nitro loads without any problems,i think you should be able to pick one up from the optics section of the forum for £100 ish..
