T/C Encore pistol owners ......

TRACKER · 03-09-2008, 10:26 PM

I,m looking at buying a T/C Encore Pistol, most likely pro hunter .
I,m looking at the 7mm-08 in 15" barrel .
Looking at shots on deer up to abought 150 yds or so .
Just curious on what you guys and gals are using on your pistol for a scope as far as brand , and size .
Also are you using a pistol or rifle scope ??
I had a Savage Striker witha 2-7x32 pistol scope , but it seemed to have to much eye relief for a gun that big .
Any advise or comments ??? Thanks....

I have a T/C contender with a Bushnell Trophy 2-6x32 that works out pretty nice. At the range 200 yard shots arent all that bad and I think the eye relief is pretty nice. On a .223 barrel I have a ncstar 2-7x28 that could use a little more eye relief. I dont think you could have too much eye relief.

Are these rifle or pistol scopes ??

[/align]pistol scopes...you really couldn't use a rifle scope on a hand gun. Make sure you get an EER (extended eye relief) or LER (long eye relief) scope.

I've known guys to use rifle scopes on pistols, but normally only rimfires. The pistol scope is a LOT safer.

I prefer the Leupold pistol scopes. I find a lot of the cheaper pistol scopes don't have a long enough eye relief for my long arms.

I have a Leupold FX-2 2x20 on my pistol. Really pleased with it.
