New scope for the 44 Mag Bisley Hunter

I did some shopping yesterday and purchased a new 2X Monarch Handgun scope for my Bisley Hunter. I mounted it today and bore sighted it. I hope to try it out tomorrow. I decided to scope it mostly because of the wide range of bullets available for the 44 Mag. Its hard with the factory sights to zero the gun when going from one weight range to another. The old eyes are not as good as they once were either for iron sights. Anyone here have expierence with this scope?

The salesman who I know quite well told me that another customer hailed one of the Monarchs out on a 460 S&W but he also shelled out a Leupld as well. He thought on the 44, it should hold up well. I liked the optics and the eye relief seemed the least critical of all the scopes that I looked at.

I was at Scheels in Fargo. They opened that new store. Its supposed to now be the largest all sports store in the world. It covers four acres. 32 shops inside. Bring your saddle horse.

The are probably 75 percent stocked now. They had a very good stock of handguns a bit short on bullets and some reloading stuff. I was there for three hours and hardly covered 30 percent of the floor space.

They have a big vidio shooting range and even a bif Farris wheel in the middle for the youngsters to ride on. They have a cafe and homemade candy shop in the back. Its quite a store. Its laid out about like the new one in Sioux Falls.
