    Ruger 77/50

    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 ?
    There is no such thing as a dangerous gun, there are dangeruous people though
